During Saturday night’s game against the LSU Tigers, one of the things you might not have noticed happened was that Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, as well as the rest of the coaching staff, actually left the press box at Tiger Stadium in the fourth quarter to join the remainder of the team on the field.
Yes, this is certainly not something that you see often during the middle of a college football game, but nevertheless, Sheridan and the rest of the Crimson Tide’s staff in the booth did this when the game was well over the fourth.
Sheridan also commented on this during his Monday press conference as well, saying:
“The game was essentially over, and the only thing that was left was us taking a knee when we got the ball back,” Sheridan said. “Just trying to get down to the people that you care about, and enjoy those brief moments that you have in those types of environments. I was just happy for the players, their families, and everybody that puts so much hard work into each week. To be able to get down there at the end, not just myself, but the other guys that are up in the box, it was a special moment, and I was glad I was able to do it.”
Saturday night was easily one of Alabama’s top offensive performances of the 2024 season so far, defeating the LSU Tigers by a final score of 42-13. This included a commanding 35-6 lead after a Jalen Milroe 72-yard run for a touchdown to begin the fourth quarter, while Sheridan and the staff later coming down to the field later in the frame.
A video of that in the fourth quarter can be seen below:
