Miss Terry gives playful jab to Nick Saban over UCF pick against Colorado, Deion Sanders

Nick Saban decided to pick UCF over Colorado in their Big 12 matchup Saturday and his wife Miss Terry gave him a playful jab.

Miss Terry, of course, picked Colorado and family friend Deion Sanders. Sanders and Saban do Aflac commercials together and certainly admire one another.

But Saban opted for the Knights over the Buffaloes, setting Miss Terry off.

“UCF is going to run the ball, shrink the game (and) limit Colorado’s opportunities,” Saban said on College GameDay. “I’m going with UCF.”

“Against our good friend, Deion, really,” Miss Terry questioned. “He texted me this week and said what a great job you were doing. I got your back Deion. Colorado.”

If you wanted more of an explanation as to why Saban picked UCF over Colorado, he recently broke down how Sanders has to “restart” his team following the miracle win over Baylor.

“What I used to do is, not start practice over, but I would start the period over,” Saban explained. “Like, we’d be doing a good-on-good team run or whatever, and one side of the ball was just not responding, or the offense was getting stuffed, or the defense was getting gashed, I’d let them run eight, 10, 12 plays and I’d say, ‘This is not what we need,’ and start the period over. That usually got their attention, because they’d knew that we’d start the next period over, but I was always afraid to start practice over, like practice would be too long or something.

“It’s the same concept, you’re trying to change the mindset of how everyone’s approaching preparation for the game. It’s the same thing I said before about the Coach Prime situation, play poorly and win, that’s like the kiss of death, because guys don’t always want to respond. They look at you like, ‘Hey coach, we won the game, why are you all upset and making us practice and all that?’ If you lose, they’re saying, ‘When are we going to practice?’ Not, ‘Why are we practicing?’
