"Finish!" Maybe All Nick Saban's Yelling Paid off For Alabama VS LSU

What started as an ugly beginning for Alabama turned into a game where the team that could finish the strongest would walk off the field as a winner. It became a game of attrition for LSU with players either limping off or being helped off the grass. For Alabama it became a game of overcoming mistakes and applying more late game heroics.  Alabama had to overcome mistakes and there were plenty of them. Greg McElroy missed wide open receivers, Julio Jones continued his string of games with a 'right in your hands' drop and defensive backs slipped, fell and blew coverages. Then there were the costly stupid penalties, like breaking the huddle with 12 men on the field. Alabama was winning the war of total offense but losing the battle of points. Since Nick Saban's arrival there has been one word that Nick Saban has been invoking in every team meeting, one word he yells repeatedly at ever practice and one word that he hopes will epitomize his team at the end of the year. That word is finish.  ... (link)
