Happy Tuesday, everyone. Nick Saban held his Monday press conference and as usual, was quite complimentary of the opponent.
— Saban said the plan for Drew Sanders was to move him inside (like he has at Arkansas) but it didn’t work out. “It is what it is,” he said.
— While KJ Jefferson is a great runner, Saban said he didn’t want to minimize his strong passing arm. He notes his ability to hit the deep ball.
— The back shoulder throw is a challenge to defend. Saban said they didn’t always defend it well but notes they didn’t give up the big play over the top.
