"They're still trying win the game," Alabama coach Nick Saban said, referring to Colorado State. "Our defense was tired. We played too many plays in the game. We couldn't get off the field on third down and played the fourth quarter. And we couldn't make any first downs with the other guys in the game. So, we weren't going to give them the ball. That was the rationale. Did I want to do that? No. If you want to criticize me for it, fine."
