It will be a challenge for our players to face the defending Super Bowl champions in their first game. It just reinforces the importance of our off-season program and training camp to make sure we're ready to play at a high level to begin the season.
More Quotes from Nick Saban:
To be honest, I didn't even get a chance to watch the game. We came back from practice and watched film on our practice, so I didn't get to see any of the game. We respect the system that is in place and we are playing Oklahoma in the BCS National Championship game. It's a tremendous opportunity for our program and right now all we are focused on is getting our players ready to play Oklahoma.Nick Saban

But like everything else down here, it's an ongoing project. Are we where we need to be We are making progress, ... Will there be ups and downs Probably, yes. Will we get frustrated some with it We probably all will. Will we overcome adversity at some point I am sure that we will, but all of these things are a test.

The number-one thing is we want somebody who is going to manage the game and give us the best opportunity to be successful. We were going to make the decision based on this position based on who we felt would give us the best opportunity to win, and managing the game is a really important part of that.
