Looks can be deceiving, which is why if you merely go by the final score you might think a 19-point win over Arkansas would be pleasing to Alabama coach Nick Saban. However Saban was anything but pleased during the second half of the Crimson Tide's 49-30 win and Monday he admitted to being just a little upset.

Saban: "I don't know if anyone noticed, but I wasn't the happiest camper in the second half." Weren't in control of the game.

Saban.: "I wasn't the happiest camper in the second half... because we weren't in control of the game."

Nick Saban didn't seem too happy with the roughing call against LB Rashaan Evans and made sure the sideline judge knew it: pic.twitter.com/z9EWz2plAG

Saban has made it a point since the start of the season to stress to his team the need to finish games and Alabama struggled to do that against Arkansas, giving up 400 yards passing and could never quite deliver the knockout blow.
Bama will have to be better at closing things out this Saturday against Tennessee, a team that has made a name for themselves this year off of late game comebacks.
