TUSCLAOOSA, Alabama - Tennessee coach Derek Dooley spoke highly of Alabama at his Monday press conference in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Here are some of his comments:

* On Alabama: "...this is (Nick Saban's) fifth year, it's his best team. Probably as physically a dominating a defense as I've seen in the modern era of football. I know that's a strong statement but i believe it.

"You catch yourself watching them and not studying them."

* On if he remembers Alabama's 1992 defense: "I went to the Sugar Bowl when they played Miami, that was the Bill Oliver defense. I didn't study that one the way i do this one.

"You see probably prototype speed and athleticism at every position, that's No. 1. You see experience. They're all back from last year, all 11 guys are juniors or seniors. You're not going to fool them. There's no play that's going to get them.
