Title: Quick hits: Alabama coach Nick Saban bye week press conference Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 25, 2011, 06:23:32 PM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/quick_hits_alabama_coach_nick.html
Quote * Saban began by saying he missed seeing reporters at his weekly Monday press conference. He also smiled. * Reviewed Tennessee film. Gave the Crimson Tide the day off Monday. * Special congrats to Dont'a Hightower to be SEC player of the week. * Saban was asked if this was the best game Hightower had at Alabama? Saban said Hightower had 25 production points, and had an outstanding game and affected everyone else with his leadership. * Rotation on the offensive line? It doesn't affect any starters. Austin Sheperd is the backup right tackle. Tyler Love is the backup left tackle. Alfred McCullough will get work at tackle as well. * On the linebackers: Upshaw and Hightower are really good players. In the 3-4, Saban said he likes players that are bigger because they have to take on blockers. They are very fast and instinctive. The way the players play in front of them helps as well. |
