One game separates Alabama football from having its second perfect team under Nick Saban.

It faces Ohio State at Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Fla.) for an opportunity to win the College Football Playoff National Championship and hand Saban his seventh title.

One of the words that has become a fixture of the Crimson Tide’s program is “Finish.”

Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, media pundits would see the term in different places throughout the facility.

With each play, drill, practice and situation, the Tide wants to finish strong.

Damion Square, an alumnus of the University of Alabama and three-time national champion, posted the word “Finish” on his Twitter account as he will be cheering for his Alma mater.

Square was on Alabama’s undefeated 2009 team that captured the first of five national championships under Saban.

Despite it not finishing in 2016 and 2018, the Tide is locked in to bringing the trophy back to Tuscaloosa this time.
