Saban on Lester Cotton: He just got dinged a little so we took him out based on the situation in the game.

Saban on Tua: I thought Tua did a pretty good job in the game. Took a sack when he shouldn't have taken a sack.

Saban: I thought our consistency on offense was a little better. Jalen Hurts scored on the first three or four times he was in there.

Saban on Jalen Hurts: He did a nice job today. He threw the ball to the right place. Took what the defense gave. Like to see more explosive

Saban: It was an opportunity to play a lot of players. I don't think we played as well on defense today.

Saban on OLBs: We obviously have a lot of work to do at that position.

Said there are things fans don't notice.

Saban on Tua Tagovailoa: "Tua did a pretty good job in the game. But he'll learn from it. Took a sack when he shouldn't have."

Saban: "The experience (Tua) got today will be invaluable."
