Alabama’s head football coach, Nick Saban bit the bullet and ate a lemon for a great cause. Check out the video of his Lemon Face Challenge.
College football coaches often times are put on video for doing anything they can to recruit a player to join their program. Whether it’s Jim Harbaugh or Nick Saban, it doesn’t matter the resume for the coach, they will do whatever it takes to get their guy.
Today, we saw a video from Nick Saban go viral, and it wasn’t the normal silly stunt trying to impress a recruit.
Instead, we saw Saban take a bite out of a lemon for charity. Anyone taking a bite out of a lemon is must watch content and Saban lived up to the hype.
You can watch the greatest college football coach to ever live to the Lemon Face Challenge in the video below.
The reason Saban took the Lemon Face Challenge was for a charity called Aubreigh’s Army. Aubreigh Nicholas, who is 11-years-old, was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. Aubreigh created her Facebook group Aubreigh’s Army to raise awareness for DIPG, an inoperable brain tumor.
Nick Saban was the first celebrity to take the Lemon Face Challenge. The video on Facebook has been seen by over 135,000 people and hopefully inspires others to take the challenge and to learn more about DIPG.
This wasn’t her first encounter with coach Saban. Prior to the Alabama-Ole Miss game, Aubreigh was able to meet Alabama’s coach. The Crimson Tide would go on to win that game 66-3 over Ole Miss. Perhaps luck was on their side after their encounter with Aubreigh.

Regardless of your feelings on Alabama, or Saban you have to tip your hat for the gesture of helping out a charitable cause like this. Kudos to you coach.
