Alabama head coach Nick Saban was none too pleased after Alabama receiver Gehrig Dieter dropped a pass in the third quarter of the National Championship game on Monday night.
Every possession in the game was critical, and the game just had that type of feel. Don’t believe me? Well, the Tigers won the game, 35-31, with a touchdown pass in the final second of the game. That’s how important a potential first down on the play would have been.
Here was how Saban felt about it:

Saban expects the best from his players, and the fact remains that Alabama wasn’t at its best tonight. Their loss was Clemson’s gain.
