Nick Saban went to impressive lengths to honor one of his former Alabama teams on Saturday.
Saban took part in his usual “College GameDay” duties on Saturday, with the show originating from Salt Lake City, Ut. for the Utah-Houston game. That did not stop him from making it to Tuscaloosa, Ala. for a halftime ceremony honoring his 2016 national champion Alabama team.
Saban was able to catch a flight that got him from Salt Lake City to Tuscaloosa in less than four hours.

Saban may have seemed aloof to the public at times, but there is no doubt he cared about his players. That was a pretty high-effort trip made on a serious time crunch…
