The Alabama Crimson Tide were defeated by the Georgia Bulldogs 33-18 in the National Championship game. The Crimson Tide fell just short of their ultimate goal, though head coach Nick Saban doesn't want people to forget just how talented a team he has, thanks to players like Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Bryce Young and standout linebacker Will Anderson. Saban had a heartwarming moment with Young and Anderson at a press conference following the loss to Georgia.

Alabama stars Bryce Young and Will Anderson were about to get up to exit the press conference after discussing the disappointing loss to the Bulldogs when Nick Saban stopped them in their tracks.
Saban wanted everyone in the room to know that Young and Anderson, who both enjoyed excellent seasons for the Crimson Tide, aren't defined by one game.
It was an amazing moment, as well as a teaching moment- by Saban. Young and Anderson, reeling from the loss to Georgia, likely feel as if they let their team down.
Saban wants Young and Anderson to know that Alabama wouldn't have even got to where they were without the two of them. Yes, it's disappointing to lose to Georgia when the national title was right there.
But it probably means everything to Bryce Young and Will Anderson that Alabama head coach Nick Saban had their backs like that after the loss to Georgia.
