Quote from Nick Saban

“We’re really not playing very well. We’re not finishing blocks up front. We’re not sustaining things offensively. We made a couple big plays. We’re not playing well at all on defense. They’re a good offensive team, and when you play good teams, you’ve got to do things right. We busted a third down on third-and-6. You’ve got to get off the field on third downs against a team like this, and we’re not doing a very good job of that right now.”
