Nick Saban Criticizes Alabama Defense Despite 65-31 Win over Arkansas

The scoreboard said the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the Arkansas Razorbacks 65-31 on Saturday.

Nick Saban thought differently.

"I don't think that you really beat the other team when you give up 31 points, like we did today, at least on the defensive perspective," Saban said after Alabama improved to 6-0, per ESPN.com's Mitch Sherman.

"We need to coach them better," he added. "We need to prepare them better. They need to be able to make adjustments in the game better."
