We’ve seen that a couple times, and it’s a little bit like giddy-up, whoa”.

“I’m just waiting for somebody one day sort of breaking out and they have a couple of good days and sort of say, “OK, I’m ready to do this, ‘ ” Saban said”.

“And you’ve got to win the team”. “As bad as I’d like to make it happen, I can’t make it happen…”

“Somebody’s gotta make it happen”.
