re: Nobody on this team wants to play for Saban

It’s not that they don’t want to play for their coach. It’s that they know that this game means nothing. They are not motivated to play in the Citrus Bowl as they would be a playoff game. They are simply a victim of past team’s accomplishments and their own sense of entitlement. They thought that because they were the omnipotent Bama, that they had a birthright to play in championship games. When it didn’t happen, they lost motivation to play. It’s not just Bama. Every time a Miles coached LSU team lost to Bama, they all but mailed in the next game or two.
