Every week, Alabama head coach Nick Saban does his radio show Hey Coach where they break down the previous game and preview the upcoming game. Towards the end of the show, Saban gets in his “Final Word” where he offers his parting thoughts on the game and a rousing message for the team and fans.

This week on Hey Coach, with the Crimson Tide sitting as six point underdogs and not favored for the first time since the national championship game against the Bulldogs, Saban took the opportunity to talk about the fact that he believes in his squad:

“These guys have worked hard all year. I told them on Monday, we’ve got six days. We need six days to get through and don’t think about how you feel because you’ll have a couple weeks to recover regardless of what happens in this game. Don’t get into how you feel, get into what you want to accomplish. That’s what it takes in a game like this to be able to impose your will on a really good team,” Saban said.

“I believe in our guys…I’m excited about trying to do the best job I can do to help them have success in this game, and I think everybody that supports Alabama should do the same.”
