Saban: Lapse of concentration is why Bama had bad offensive game against Mississippi State

quote:

---

“We didn’t really do what we set out to do in the last game. I think there’s a lot of lessons to be learned in that. We got emotionally and physically challenged in the game, especially on offense. We scored early two times in a row. Sometimes when that happens, you think things are going to be easy, and then things got really hard. So, I don’t know if we responded in the game like I would like for us to, so those are the lessons that we’d like to learn.

“I think that that’s something that kind of woke our offense up a little bit. Things have gone really easily for us most of the year this year in terms of scoring points, getting ahead in games, and sometimes you get a little lax. You don’t pay attention to detail, you don’t play with the same discipline, you don’t finish things the right way, you take things for granted. And I think that our guys responded really well this week because we have practiced a little better, and hopefully, we’ll play a little better in this game because of it.”
