Saban knew Alabama was going to lose.....

Georgia was dominating Alabama. The players were visibly frustrated as evidenced by shoving heads, going after coaches, face mask tacking...you know things people do when their ego's are hurt. Humble players don't feel entitled and instead try to motivate each other but that wasn't the case.

Saban knew he had to take drastic measures or they would lose and with Jalen most likely very badly. He took a chance and put in Tua which proved to be a great decision.

Fortunately for Bama a perfect storm arose in their favor in the second half. A combination of terrible officiating, conservative play calling from UGA, and Tua was just what they needed to make a come back. It took all 3 things to create a scenario for Bama to win. Without one of those they lose.

I can imagine some of hurt egos on this board at halftime. It must have felt pretty embarrassing to make your 42-10 type predictions only to get whooped...without help I might add.

Moral of the story is be humble at all times. You don't have to worry about your pride being hurt from being an arrogant prick.

Alabama won...I get it but when you get so arrogant that you begin to feel entitled to a blowout you have a problem. Humble fans and humble players get more respect from others.

Congrats on your win. Maybe the fashion the natty was won in was a wake up call that sometimes even most prideful need a little "assistance".
