Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“It was tough. It really was. I made the decision to do it because the score was [tied] and we were tired on defense and weren't doing a great job of getting them stopped and felt like if we didn't do something or take a chance to change the momentum of the game that we wouldn't have a chance to win.” – Nick Saban on his decision to call for an onside kick against Clemson during the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
