Those tuning in to Alabama taking on Mississippi might notice a scratch on the side of Nick Saban’s left cheek. How did the coach get the cut?
CBS reported that Saban ran into one of his players before the game. That settles all the speculation. Alabama is taking on Mississippi State in a game that has a lot of implications for both the SEC West and College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide are ranked second in the country while the Bulldogs are 17th.
As you can expect, Twitter reacted to Saban’s wound. Here is some of the best tweets:
.@ALaForce just did an injury report on Nick Saban. Player ran into him & now he has a cut on his face.
Nick Saban somehow has a cut on his cheek that wasn’t there earlier
Why are we reporting on a scratch on Nick Saban’s face? #CBS
Did Nick Saban take a punch during halftime? His cheek is cut pretty good
Curse the sideline reporter for not asking the real questions of Nick Saban: namely, what happened to his face?
Nick Saban looks to have cut himself shaving this morning. Apparently he shaves with a machete
I just want to know what happened to Nick Saban’s face.
I also want to know if whoever caused that lived to tell the tale.
