Nick Saban opened Week 6’s postgame press conference praising his team for the effort it showed against Texas A&M, especially in the first half.
As a whole, Saban was satisfied with Saturday’s performance. At least, that’s how he conveyed it. However, he still feels this Tide team can be so much better and preached that self-inflicted wounds are keeping Alabama from where it wants to be through Week 6.
Saban: “I think we can have a really, really good team, but I just think self-inflicted wounds are something we can resolve and we certainly need to do that to be able to compete at a high level.”

Interestingly, Saban also told reporters that Saturday may have broken a record in terms of “messing up and still winning.”
Saban: “This may be the record game for me in terms of messing up and still winning.”

The Tide did play far from a perfect game Saturday. Texas A&M jumped out to an early lead at Kyle Field, but a strong 2nd half from Alabama, especially defensively, turned the tide in Alabama’s favor.
