“You’re Responsible for the Identity That You Create”: Alabama HC Nick Saban’s Powerful Words After Beating Ole Miss on Saturday

On Saturday, Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Ole Miss Rebels to get their eighth overall victory of the season. Alabama’s star quarterback Bryce Young displayed another impressive performance for his team to get a massive victory. After the match, their head coach, Nick Saban, talked to the press and said some powerful words to his team.

Notably, in that press conference, Saban praised some of his own players and a few opposition players as well. Particularly, he praised the attitude of his players in the second half after going down in the first half.

Talking to the reporters, Saban said, “Really, really proud of our players in terms of the way they competed in the game. I think that’s the big thing that we wanted to get our players to get back to is, you’re responsible for the identity that you create and it’s personal in terms of how you play and how you compete in the game to try to dominate the guy you’re playing against. And I saw a lot of that in the second half, so we took a step in the right direction.“

He particularly praised their running back, Jase McClellan, and quarterback Bryce Young for having a tremendous game. Despite having a tough time in the first half, Young proved his worth in the second half with his tremendous passing accuracy.

“Jase McClellan, the offensive line stepped up in the second half. Defense had some big stops. They only scored once in the second half, got the stop when we needed to. I thought Bryce did a really good job of managing the game today. It was a tough night in a lot of ways but a great night for us. Because I think we took a step in the right direction as a football team, and I’m really proud of our guys for the way they competed in the game,” Saban further added. 

Notably, Young threw 209 yards in the game against Ole Miss for 3 touchdowns. Moreover, he completed 21 of 33 passes with a completion rate of 63.6% and he had no interceptions in the game. Certainly, the scouts are already talking very highly of the 21-year-old Alabama star.

Meanwhile, many NFL teams are already looking forward to the 2023 NFL draft. And Young is one of the young NCAA prospects who could get a huge contract.
