PASADENA, Calif. -- Alabama coach Nick Saban took the blame for Monday night's 27-20 loss to Michigan in the College Football Playoff Semifinal Game at the Rose Bowl Presented by Prudential.

Crediting the Wolverines for a well-played game, Saban said the result was due to the Crimson Tide's lack of execution.

"We shot ourselves in the foot," Saban said.

Asked about the final play -- a quarterback run on fourth-and-goal in overtime that was stopped short -- Saban said they were prepared for Michigan to pressure.
