Coach Saban has instilled resiliency in his teams over the years. Seems to be a rare coaching trait as you watch team after team fold in pressure situations.
If you follow the ESPN win percentage tracker, Georgia was favored by 94.6% with nine minutes to go in the third quarter and the Dawgs leading 28-14. But the Alabama players persisted, on both sides of the ball. Amazing. Georgia simply couldn't muster the strength to play at the highest level needed in the fourth quarter. Georgia fans talk about Kirby learning from his mistakes, but this is one coaching trait you can't teach, and is why I wonder if Smart is already at his top side.
Roll Tide!
