Alabama Crimson Tide's Coach Saban Can Smile Indeed
Get all the latest news, live updates & top stories on Ohio State vs Alabama
"I enjoyed the ride!" Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban said while referring to the lift he had just received as he was carried across the field of Hard Rock Stadium by Landon Dickerson in celebration of their 52-24 victory against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff National Championship. "I don't know if I'm smiling more, I really don't," Saban said in one postgame interview. "But I do think that when you have something taken away from you, as we did when it came to spring practice and our normal summer and early fall routines, or you have the potential to have something taken from you, the cloud we lived under all season long, then I think that has to make you appreciate it more. We all love this game, but when it's all you do, you start thinking it's always going to be there. Then when it isn't, it's only natural that you pause to appreciate it more when you get it back."
