A win is a win, but these are the ugliest of Nick Saban's career as Alabama coach.

The Tide would even have a chip shot opportunity to win the whole thing with a field goal as time expired, but Andy Pappanastos’ attempt hooked and the game went to OT. Bama was outgained 335-227 and fumbled four times on special teams, but found a way to win when everything was on the line. But it wouldn’t matter when he found the future Heisman winner wide open on a vertical route down the left sideline, as Bama walked it off to win another national title and deliver one of the most exciting moments in sports history. “It didn’t help that Coach Kiffin was our coach for like three years and knows the ins and outs of our defense. Butch Jones nearly had a signature win and came as close as any Tennessee coach to ending Alabama’s seemingly eternal winning streak in the once-storied rivalry. Manziel threw for 464 yards and five touchdowns (and ran for 98 yards), but Bama answered back in a big way, even leading the game by 21 points at two different points. On first down, Tagovailoa took a disastrous sack, losing 16 yards and pulling the Tide out of field goal range. A fourth quarter field goal from Leigh Tiffin was all the Tide could muster in the second half but it was enough to stave off a miraculous comeback, securing the 7-6 record in Saban’s first season as head coach. Bama needed two Terrence Cody field goal blocks to survive a massive upset by the Volunteers, led by Lane Kiffin in his first season as head coach. Nursing a 9-point lead and looking to ice the game in the fourth quarter, Saban fed workhorse running back and eventual Heisman winner Mark Ingram, seemingly a foolproof plan until it wasn’t. I think it’s an opportunity for them to approach me and me to have respect for them and how they support the program.” And it really, sorta, if you want to know the truth about it, pisses me off when I talk to people that have this expectation, like they’re disappointed that we only won the game 14-13 and in the way we played.
