“First off, on behalf of the University of Alabama and our entire football family, I’d like to thank all the people at the Allstate Sugar Bowl who have worked very, very hard to create an atmosphere and environment here for this great competitive venue for the players. The hospitality has been outstanding. And the city of New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl folks have done an outstanding job of creating an atmosphere and environment for a college football playoff that is conducive relative to the competitive venue that we have. And we want to thank everybody for that. “I’ve been pleased with the way our players have been able to maintain a focus on the importance of the game that we’re playing against a very, very good Ohio State team, who, in their own right, has had an outstanding year and won the Big Ten championship, as well as playing very well at the end of the season. “So this is certainly a challenge that all competitors look forward to. And it’s great to be a part of. But our players have stayed focused, worked hard and kept their nose where it needs to be in terms of what they need to do to be able to play what everyone needs to look at as our best game of the year. “And that’s a challenge technically to every guy at every position to play with the kind of discipline that you need to play with to do that. So I wish everybody out there a very happy new year and we’re looking forward to a great game.”-Nick Saban
