A lot of people can be special 1 game, 1 week, 1 month, even 1 season. But if you don't have a foundation and/or consistently high standards in so many ways, eventually it gets exposed. I enjoyed the exposure last night, and frankly all season.
On the other hand, it's really hard to be special for 2,3,4,5 let alone a decade +. It's what makes Saban's run so amazing!
