Highlights from Nick Saban’s post-game presser following Alabama’s win over Louisiana-Monroe:

On Jake Coker:

“I thought Jake did a nice job today. We dropped five or six balls, one for a touchdown. We obviously have to get our receivers better. We got some guys injured there.”

On Alabama’s defense:

“I think our guys did a good job practicing and understanding their offense. We did a good job of playing the plays. We tackled well in space, which was a big emphasis. We wanted to get more turnovers, but maybe next week.”

Coach Saban said Bama limited Derrick Henry because of his illness during the week. Didn't want to wear him out pic.twitter.com/Y0z0bnLIER

Saban: We've been averaging 500 yards and everyone has been complaining about the offense. Asking why we don't run the ball more.

Saban said he thought Jake Coker played well in both halves. Saban said Coker would have been 22 of 31 overall if not for drops

Saban: We think (Jonathan Allen) will be OK (shoulder) but it will be day-to-day.

Saban on kicker Griffith: He's working on getting plant foot right. "Hopefully he'll continue to build on" today's success.
