111013 quotes

Congratulations to a quality Alabama team. Coach Saban really has them going. They played extremely well. I’m really not prepared for this. This kind of felt like we played better. Two quality teams played and that Alabama team separated themselves from us tonight. I thought our team fought and I think they are stung right now. I don’t think they are happy about it at all. When you prepare hard, you want victory and you are ambitious. It’s not fun to finish second, and today we finished second.

- Coach Les Miles following the 38-17 beatdown LSU received at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny 110913

This was a tremendous atmosphere for a college football game tonight. I was really proud of our players in the second half. I thought they did a fantastic job and probably played our best half of football. It wasn’t perfect, and we didn’t play great in the first half, but [there was] a lot of character out there in the second half to control the line of scrimmage the way we did on offense. [We] got some stops on defense, especially after the kickoff return that could have got them back in the game.

No matter what the record in this game, though, it always seems like both teams come out in this game and they have high expectations for how they want to play and what they want to do, but our guys did a great job of keeping their poise and staying focused on the things that they needed to do. [They] had to overcome some adversity in the game, but [I’m] really pleased with the way we got control of the game in the second half.

We have a lot of veteran players who do a great job in terms of leadership, and I think they understand what it means to be Alabama football players, and I think we got some other guys that are certainly learning that that are younger players and that’s going to be important for our team in the future. Last year when we won this game, we didn’t play very well the next week, and I think our players have to have the 24-hour rule. You had a great win, you celebrate that win and then we have to focus on improving and on the next challenge that we have. We still have some very tough challenges, but I think our team showed a lot of character, especially in the second half in terms of the way they competed and the way they played. I’m very proud of the way our guys came out and played in the second half.

Coach Saban's Comments following 45-10 victory over Tenn at Bryant-Denny 102613

I'm really happy, our players are really happy, and I hope our fans are really happy. I certainly appreciated our fans today. They stayed for the game and did a great job of supporting our team. It was a great atmosphere for our players to play in. This is a 110 year old rivalry that means a lot to a lot of people in the state of Alabama. I'm very proud of the job that the players and the coached did. We played especially well in the first half.

This was a tough, physical, competitive game, and I've been really pleased with the way the guys have come out the past four games that we've played and get off to a really good start. We played physical, played with a lot of toughness, and we knew Tennessee was the kind of team that could play with anybody in the country. We challenged our guys to prove who we were, and how we can play against them.

You get defined by what you do every week. It's going to important for us to be able to focus on this bye week to try and improve and to try and get more players to play winning football. Certainly, in this time of the year when you start getting guys injured and banged up, you lose a few guys and it creates an opportunity for a lot of other people. I was especially pleased with the way some of those guys stepped up today and played really well for us and we really just need to get better week to week.

We've got some big challenges and some stiff competition against some very good teams coming up here. This bye week comes at a really good time for us. We've got a lot of guys nicked up, could use the rest, and also use the time to help some of our players improve. That's going to be our focus for this week.

I want to say again how proud and how pleased with how our guys came out and competed in the first half of this game. We didn't play great in the second half, but I was really pleased with the way we pretty much came out and dominated the first half. We stopped ourselves one time by fumbling the ball on the one yard line. We had a couple turnovers on defense. We had an interception that Landon (Collins) made a great play on and ran it back for a touchdown, so I guess it all kind of balances out. I can't tell you how proud I am of the way our players competed in this game and it was a great job by our coaches.

Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?

Mental toughness is many things. It is humility because it behooves all of us to remember that simplicity is the sign of greatness and meekness is the sign of true strength. Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication.

102013 quote

I was really proud of the way our guys came out and competed and played in this game. We're trying to set a high standard for how we play. We came out right off the bat offensively and had a really good first drive and scored the first couple of times we had the ball and got them stopped a couple of times on defense. I was really pleased with the way we competed in the game.

Arkansas's players played with a lot of toughness, and it's a physical game. We knew it would be one of the most physical games we've played all year. They've run the ball pretty effectively on everybody, and they certainly gave us some problems when it came to that as well.

I really thought the offensive line did a good job of protecting the quarterback. We made some explosive plays in the passing game. We were able to run the ball, and we had pretty good balance out there. I'm really pleased with the progress that we made.

I think it's important that our team continue to focus on improving. I still don't think we played our best game. I think we have to continue to improve. It's great that we got to play a lot of players out there tonight. We certainly need for those guys to get some experience because we're going to need some depth. Obviously, as you lose players, other guys have to step up and play. We had to do a lot of shuffling in the secondary tonight to get guys in a position that they really haven't played that much. I thought they all did a pretty good job of adjusting and adapting in the game.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered,
you will never grow.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make big choices in life. Because almost  everything … all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure … these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
