Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide had their hands full with the LSU Tigers on Saturday night, holding on for a narrow 20-14 victory.

The Tide didn’t look like the No. 2 team in the country, but fortunately for them, no one else really stepped up and looked poised to take over that spot.

After the game, Saban had plenty to say about his team in the narrow victory. Here’s some of what he said in his postgame press conference:

On the defensive effort from the Tide:

On no easy wins in the SEC:

On making plays when they were needed:

On a couple of injuries suffered by Tide players during the game:

On the outstanding pass rushers:

Alabama will likely remain in the No. 2 spot moving forward. We’ll see if they can look dominant again next weekend.
