Alabama Post-Game Press Conference January 1, 2018
2018 Allstate Sugar Bowl Alabama Post-Game Press Conference January 1, 2018 COACH SABAN: Thanks to the Sugar Bowl committee and all of the people that provided tremendous hospitality for us all week. This is one of the smoothest bowl trips that I think we have ever had. The City of New Orleans was fantastic, and we'd just like to thank everybody who contributed. I know how hard y'all worked to put this event on, and it certainly was first class. Also very, very proud of our team. I think this game was about sort of our identity as a team. And I don't think that anybody could question the relentless competitive attitude that we played with, warrior-like mentality out there. And it's certainly what we needed. There are things that we could have done better, but I'm proud of the way our guys competed in the game. And I think that was the difference in the game. The toughness that we played with, the effort that we played with. We were able to affect their quarterback, stop the run. Got off the field early in the game on third down quite a bit. We played the kind of game we wanted to play on offense. We wanted to run the ball. And 2-yard run wasn't a bad run because we didn't want to get in a lot of third-and-long situations. And we did a good job of keeping the ball in the game and scored when we had the opportunities to score.

Tennessee Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt Opening Statement…
Tennessee 17, No. 2 Alabama 48 October 24, 2020 | Knoxville, Tenn. | Neyland Stadium Tennessee Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt Opening Statement… “Looking at the game, I thought offensively it was one of the better games we played. We did have one turnover for a touchdown, which is inexcusable. But we started running the ball at times pretty well, and I thought we protected pretty well for the most part, but just didn’t have the time of possession Alabama had, which goes back to the defense about getting off the field and being more stout in the run game and getting off the field on third down. It’s just what I told the players in there, I see a lot of guys that are trying really hard, but we’re making mistakes. And as coaches and players, we’ve got to go back and be able to execute at a higher level. A lot of guys were playing really hard, we just made mistakes in the game as far as over routes and giving up explosive plays like that. We have always been pretty good about not doing that and haven’t given up many this year, but today we did, and it’s tough to stop those guys when they start on the play action passes and being able to throw the overs. You’ve got to be able to do one or the other, whether it’s stop the run or stop passes, so it doesn’t make it so tough to defend. We have to get off the field on third down.

Letter from the President
Letter from the President Roll Tide! What an exciting yet somewhat disappointing few months it has been since our last Sumter Tide newsletter and our annual Kickoff Social. We began the year as the defending national champions and watched the Tide rattle off impressive wins over Penn State and Florida, only to lose to South Carolina and have our BCS title hopes dashed in Baton Rouge. The low point of the year was undoubtedly the loss to Auburn-a game we had under wraps for thirty minutes and let slip out of our clutches in the fourth quarter. All in all, the season was not a complete wash. In a way, it reminded me of what it means to be Alabama. Being Alabama means not settling for second best. Being Alabama means a ten win season and an impressive bowl victory are not good enough-there were opportunities to be better. Being Alabama means sustained success; we build programs, not seasons. While certain teams will come and go, Alabama is here to stay. Despite the shortcomings of the 2010 season, we have an awful lot to be excited about in 2011. We return a strong cast of players, highlighted by Trent Richardson, Mark Barron, Donta Hightower, and Courtney Upshaw, and should begin the season ranked in the top 5 yet again. Alabama has a very good chance of hoisting the crystal ball for the second time in three years again this upcoming season. The 2011 version of the Tide simply needs to learn from its mistakes in 2010 and strive to finish strong in each game in 2011.
