Nick Saban addressed the media Monday as Alabama begins its bye week.
Here is a summary of what he said:
-- Saban said Alabama tries to create some kind of balance with the bye week by making time for rest and keeping on schedule with the work that still needs to be done.
-- Saban said Tua Tagovailoa remains focused and hasn't been caught up in the fame he has achieved. Saban added that Tagovailoa is a people pleaser but that sometimes he has to learn to say no.
-- Saban said offensive lineman Hunter Brannon is suspended from the team and is being disciplined internally after he was arrested last Sunday morning on charges of driving under the influence.
