University of Alabama football head coach Nick Saban previewed the University of Cincinnati defense on Monday ahead of the College Football playoff semifinal matchup.
The Cincinnati defense is highlighted by the secondary duo of consensus All-American defensive back Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and All-American defensive back Coby Bryant.
"Well, their two corners are good players," Saban said. "They're long. They play a lot of man-to-man. They got good ball skills. They're good man-to-man players. They're aggressive in the way they play. They don't make a lot of mistakes. They're smart. They got a lot of experience, even when they change it up and play zone.
