Will Tide embrace success too much?
ATLANTA – Twenty feet tall, the head of Nick Saban loomed on a video screen in both end zones.
Many of his disciples watched raptly, still lingering in the Georgia Dome stands after the 34-10 stunner against Clemson. When Saban finished, a rousing ovation followed as the screen faded to black.
The Alabama fans saw Saban.
Did they hear him?
Did they hear the warnings? Did they hear the reminders?
It was half coach-speak, half logic. One game does not a season make.
His voice rising in passion and a touch of anger with every phrase, Saban reminded that “our players need to understand, what our fans need to understand, what everybody needs to understand, it’s one game … (the players should) remember how they got where they got rather than think we can just show up now and beat whoever we play.”
