Alabama players such as Bryce Young, Will Anderson, DJ Dale, and Cameron Latu spoke on the Crimson Tide’s focus before its arrival and since its arrival to Dallas, Texas. Nick Saban raved about the focus of the Tide on Wednesday’s airing of “Hey Coach.”
Alabama’s student-athletes have not spent much time (if any at all) outside the team hotel this week.
“You’re not gonna remember what you did on Tuesday night in Dallas three months from now, three weeks from now, or three years from now,” Saban said, “But you’ll remember for the rest of your life what happens in the game.”
When it comes to practice, Saban said the team is ready to go.
“Our players seem to be focused, practicing well, doing the things that they need to prepare to play a very good Cincinnati team,” he said.
Anderson, a sophomore linebacker, told reporters that each player knows what’s at stake for Alabama.
The Crimson Tide has had no distractions, and players are focused on the Bearcats. Coach Saban looks to improve to 6-0 in matchups — including College Football Playoff games — at AT&T Stadium. He eyes his seventh national championship with Alabama.
