During his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, this time around, Alabama<\/a><\/strong> head coach Nick Saban<\/a><\/strong> broke down exactly how he attacks the halftime break. <\/p>\n

For Coach Saban, it\u2019s all about gathering intel from the first half. He explained when asked by AJ Hawk about halftime adjustments that he likes to have all possible information in front of him in order to best devise a plan to begin the third quarter. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah I think No. 1 is you gotta get really good information and have everybody assigned to some sort of detail of what they need to get when the first half is happening,\u201d said Saban. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo every play that happened in the first half, you know, we actually have drawn up on a template that we can show the players. And we can say, \u2018okay, this is what they\u2019re trying to do, this is what we need to adjust to.\u2019 Same thing on offense. We got a template where, \u2018okay, they ran this stunt, they\u2019re running this blitz, this is different from what we practiced against, this is what we have to do. <\/p>\n

So, the info is key. As an example, Saban then explained what he would do if, say, the opposition was having success on a certain formation. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s something in that which requires an adjustment \u2014 like, I\u2019ll use an example. Like, how are we playing bunch passes on defense? Well, they\u2019re running a pattern, that the way we\u2019re playing the bunch pass, it\u2019s tough. So we gotta say \u2018okay, we\u2019re gonna go play it this way.\u2019 And I think, if you have the right information, you can make those kind of adaptations and adjustments at halftime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Saban says the same is true on offense as well, perhaps even more so. He noted that most teams open the game with a set script of plays they want to run, so Saban suggests such a strategy can be successful in the second half as well, especially if you\u2019ve made proper adjustments from the first half. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe always try to put a plan together on offense. \u2018Okay, how do we want to start the second half?\u2019 Everybody talks about\u2026 you got this 20-play script, you know, that we\u2019re going to start the game with. Well how about having a script for how you want to start the second half based on the information you got in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201d And I think all those things can be beneficial for you in terms of the way you go out and start.\u201d <\/p>\n
