Nick Saban says Alabama wants ‘to prove’ how good a team it is in Sugar Bowl

Alabama entered the college football season with many expectations, including a Southeastern Conference Championship and a College Football Playoff National Championship.

Neither got achieved as two losses knocked the Crimson Tide out of contention. Alabama has not been dominant or balanced offensively and defensively all year. The team made uncharacteristic mistakes, had poor game-planning, a lack of energy, and did not carry itself with the level of excellence we are used to. However, the Tide managed to earn 10 wins and captured a berth in a classic bowl game. Alabama is scheduled to face Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve at 11:00 a.
