Nick Saban delivers quote of the day so far following national championship ‘failure’

After winning the national championship following the 2015 season, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost their title rematch against Clemson last year.
Once again expected to be one of the best teams in college football, Alabama will look to get the bad taste out of its mouth in 2017.
At SEC Media Days on Wednesday, coach Nick Saban said he hopes the loss to Clemson still stings for his returning players and added that he wants to use that failure as a way to improve his team this fall:
Saban on self-assessing after a loss like NCCG: "I think when you lose, the mindset is much more: '… I don't want to waste a failure.'"

Crimson Tide fans will get a good look at their team in Week 1 of the 2017 season, as they’ll take on another strong program in Florida State.
With QB Jalen Hurts, a stable of talented running backs and plenty of top-notch defenders returning from last year’s squad, Alabama has a great chance to make it back to the College Football Playoff once again this year.
