Nick Saban's opening comments on Wednesday

Transcript

00:00 So, you know, I'm trying to emphasize, we're trying to emphasize with the players,

00:04 they responded, you know, fairly well.

00:06 But the number one focus, you know, this week needs to be on this game.

00:10 We need to take care of business in this game.

00:13 You know, I got out the 2016 game, which was the last time we played these guys,

00:18 and we were like 3-0 or something halfway through the second quarter,

00:22 and we were behind.

00:23 So, and just about all the players out there playing were, you know,

00:28 really good players, most of them who played in the NFL.

00:31 So, having your mind right, having the right focus on what you want to accomplish

00:37 and what you want to do, having the right passion for how bad you want to do it,

00:41 and having the mental toughness to, you know, handle tough and difficult situations,

00:46 handle them hard, I think is really, really important.

00:49 You know, we need to focus on what we need to do to take care of business in this game.

00:56 And, you know, the players have been pretty good about that so far.

00:59 about this.
