On This Day in Crimson Tide History

“We've got some pretty hateful guys that play defense around here that are pretty good competitors. When they get challenged a little bit, they usually respond and I think they responded really well tonight." —Nick Saban after shutting out LSU 10-0 on this date in 2016.
