This incredible Nick Saban, Alabama stat in national title games shows why it’ll be tough for Georgia to win

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide will face off in Atlanta on Monday night with a national championship on the line.
This is Georgia’s first trip to the title game in a long time, while the Crimson Tide have played in the last three championship contests.
In fact, under coach Nick Saban, the Tide have won four titles in five tries, and the reason why is simple — they don’t beat themselves. As you can see below, the Crimson Tide have yet to turn the ball over in a title game under Saban:
They don't beat themselves.

Obviously, ball security is crucial in every game, but even more so in games like the National Championship Game.
If the Bulldogs are going to pull out a victory on Monday night in Atlanta, they’ll need to force a turnover or two in big situations. Fortunately for the Tide, though, they don’t give it away too often.
