WATCH: Nick Saban Breaks Headset After Penalties Force Alabama to Settle for Field Goal
Even as Alabama dominated the first half of Saturday's College Football Playoff semifinal against Oklahoma, Nick Saban didn't appear to be satisfied.
With less than a minute remaining in the first half and Crimson Tide ahead 28–10, the Alabama head coach's frustration reached its limit. After three costly penalties that stalled a drive, Saban ripped his headset off and slammed it to the ground.
The Crimson Tide were inside the Sooners' red zone with 1:21 left when Jedrick Wills Jr. committed a false start penalty with Alabama facing third-and-one. On the ensuing play, Wills was flagged again, this time for illegal formation, pushing the Crimson Tide back into a third-and-10.
