Nick Saban was not thrilled with the way his team reacted to losing the Rose Bowl.
Alabama lost 27-20 to eventual national champion Michigan in the College Football Playoff on Jan. 1. The overtime loss came after Jalen Milroe’s fourth-down run was stopped at the line of scrimmage. Milroe took off toward the end zone after a low snap on what appeared to be a designed run/pass option.
The game turned out to be the final one of Saban’s career as he shocked the college football world by announcing his retirement less than two weeks later.
