Saban’s Postgame Message - Georgia Game

"Obviously, we’re very disappointed, but there [are] a lot of lessons to be learned,” Saban said. “I was concerned about our intensity in preparing for this game. I thought that showed up in the first half, and not just in our inability to score. The look in our eye just wasn’t what it needs to be.

“I’m responsible for that. I’m not blaming anybody. My job is to get the team ready and will get that corrected in the future.

“I was very proud of way we played in the second half. We came back and had a chance to win the game. The competitive spirit was there.

“The biggest difference in the game [was] their ability to make third downs. They were 9 of 19. We were only 3 of 15. We had too many drives where didn’t keep the ball for eight or nine plays and turn the field position around like they did.

“But we had opportunities. We need to cash in on more of those opportunities in the passing game. We’ve got too many good skill guys not to have a good passing game. Special teams wasn’t a factor for us. They did a better job in terms of field position than we did.

“So there are a lot of lessons to be learned here. We are always talking about improving and understanding [that] you’ve got to focus on the process and you’ve got to do it with consistency. You’ve got to do it every week.”
