On Saturday morning’s SEC Nation, coach Nick Saban discussed what he thinks is his team’s biggest weakness. He said he thinks it’s a similar problem that all teams face, which is getting the most out of the players on the roster.
Interesting, on he feels teams don't have a personal issue, it is getting to play up to their potential... We seen that against Clemson, the problem is, can this team do it one more time, and honestly, anything less, they short changed themselves, there is no excuse now to say they can't.... They proven to themselves, they can and will beat any team on any given night if they believe they can, it is behind the ears is where you win and lose games... Not the phsyical part only.... The physical will come when the mind believes it can....
“Look, everybody’s got their issues and problems, every team’s got some issue or problem,” he said. “There’s no perfect teams out there. What I really think is, what I talked about before, do you have the psychological disposition to be able to sustain a high standard and a high level of how you prepare for games, how you practice, how you get ready, how you respect your opponent, how you go out there every week and try to play. To me, that is the biggest challenge for any team. It’s not a personnel issue. It’s not ‘We don’t have a good enough right corner, we don’t have a good enough outside linebacker, we don’t have a good enough center.’ That’s not the issue. The issue is can you get them all to play the way they can play.”
