The College Football Playoff semifinal matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Notre Dame Fighting Irish is going about what most expected as the Tide ended the first half with a two touchdown lead of 21-7.
What fans were not expecting is a viral technicality moment involving Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who appeared to be having a tough time hearing ESPN sideline reporter Allison Williams during their halftime interview. The malfunction was quite humorous to college football fans, who noticed Saban clearly vexed with the entire ordeal.
Take a look at the best reactions below.

Shoutout Allison Williams for hanging in there and still doing the interview. If that woulda been me and Nick Saban gave me that look I would’ve just said “don’t worry about it. guys back to you.”

Nick Saban was one second from launching that headset to the top of the scoreboard at Jerry World.

Coach once again is one step ahead. He doesn't have time for an interview, so he can't hear and his earphones aren't working….Great move #coachsaban. You have a game to win and young men to lead

Nick Saban absolutely furious at ESPN's headphones not working properly was riveting.
