Will Alabama be able to turn an awkward moment on the CFP National Championship pre-game show into psychological fuel?
Fittingly, the former Alabama virtuoso of reverse psychology was a part of Georgia’s second straight national title. ESPN cameras caught former Tide strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran on the Bulldog sideline a few times. Before taking a job with Georgia in 2020, Cochran was famous for smashing a CFPtrophy with a sledgehammer, coincidently, as motivation before Alabama’s 2018 title-game win over Georgia.
For Saban, a balcony view of Georgia’s 58-point massacre and Pollack’s declaration is certainly enough to splash gas on his already-eternal flame. It’s a matter of how his 85-man roster responds because he’s been here before. Saban’s dynasty’s been pronounced dead a few times in the past -- first via fast-paced offenses, then by Clemson.
Since claiming the 2009 crown -- his first of six at Alabama -- Saban hasn’t gone more than two years without lifting either a crystal football or the CFP equivalent.New Alabama They, like Alabama, will need to replace a veteran quarterback but return the core of an offense that pantsed TCU on national television.
