quote:

"Sitting in the locker room before the game, I was really nervous about the way our team looked because they didn’t look like they usually do," Saban said. "They were kinda quiet and not how they usually are and it was concern. You never know how they're going to respond when they go out there and start playing so I think there was a lot of nervous energy and I think there was a lot of anxiety and I think that's really what I was trying to avoid."

"I think once we got in there at halftime and I said 'These are the things we wanted you to do. We didn't do any of those things in the first half so let's just settle down and do those things and do them well and we'll get ourselves back into the game'" Saban said. "And they responded well because there wasn't all this anxiety about what's going to happen if this happens and that happens and all that. You can't think about all of that."

Bama beat themselves, just didn't execute.

So, Saban was unable to get his team ready to play the top ranked team in the country at home?

Combination of
(1) a ton of youth/inexperience who isn't sure of themselves and their ability to do what they are supposed to without thinking
(2) first real big game for that youth
(3) failure on the part of coaches in developing a gameplan that can let them play with confidence, something that has been a constant this season (defensive specific)

Overall a failure by the coaching staff, and it cost them because the other coaching staff was on the top of their game.

sounds like a team that doesn't deserve to make the playoffs.

Saban said that a few times at LSU as well. I remember when we got ran by Eli at home in 2001, he said there was a bad week of practice or bad energy before the game or something.. Shouldn't the GOAT be able to change that??

LOL at all of these excuses. I can't wait to play them again in the playoffs. Don't think for a second the LSU team and staff won't feel slighted by sabans comments and the media. O ain't gonna take his foot off the gas in the 3rd this time. We'll hang 50+ on December 28th.

Didn't Kirby use the same excuse after losing to Carolina earlier this year? Shows the culture of never accepting responsibility over there in West AL.

I honestly don't see Saban winning the SEC again. You are going to see less and less of what sustained them... Namely getting mid round juniors to come back for senior seasons.

Sleepy Nick Saban better be careful, or the game is going to pass him by as he dozes off! Sleepy Saban could learn a thing or two about HIGH ENERGY COACHING from Coach O! RETIRE TO THE GEORGIA LAKE HOUSE??
