Saban: Nothing new on injuries.
Saban: "Last week we got off to a slow start. We were able to play younger players who got good learning opportunities."
Saban: Brian Vogler and A. Stewart listed as questionable for the game.
Saban: "The Iron Bowl is one of the greatest rivalries in college football."
Saban: "This game has had a lot of significance over the last few years."
Saban: This game requires a tremendous amount of discipline and focus.
Saban: "Gus has done a fantastic job last year and this year."
Saban: "Bryant-Denny at night is a great atmosphere. You have to be focused I. What you need to do."
Saban: This is a very challenging team to defend with the way they play offense.
Saban: "Their OL does a good job, and they have a lot of speed on the perimeter."
Saban: Auburn's defense has played great in the red zone and has been very tough to score on.
Saban: "They create a lot of turnovers on defense and are always good on special teams."
Saban: This is a game all competitors enjoy playing in.
Saban: "I think their perimeter running helps them with the play-action pass."
Saban on Duke Williams: He's got great range. He makes plays on balls other receivers can't get to
Saban on Nick Marshall: "Really, really a fantastic athlete. Very instinctive as a player." Adds he's improved as a passer.
Saban on Kick 6 motivation: We all remember what happened.
Saban: I don't think we're any better prepared to face Auburn's defense than we were a year ago. We did a pretty good job last year.
Saban: "We're no better prepared than we were last year. We just didn't finish last season."
Saban asked about Auburn's "eye candy" pre-snap on offense. "There's a method to what they do."
Saban: "I think Gus knows how people would defend him if they lined up regularly. He wants you to have to adjust on the fly."
Saban: "Amari Cooper gets better each year. He rarely disappoints when we turn to him."
Saban on who can fill in for Vogler: We have a lot of confidence in O.J. Howard. Brandon Greene and Dakota Ball experience.
Saban: "We don't want to create a lot of anxiety with our players. We just want them to execute and prepare."
Saban on TJ Yeldon: "He has been by far, in my opinion, our most effective guy all the way around."
Saban said Yeldon's been "shut down" for the past 7 days in hopes of getting him healthier for Iron Bowl.
Saban: "Both Auburn RBs (Artis-Payne and Grant) complement each other well. They have great variety of runners."
Saban: "I really can't compare this game to anything else. The energy level is so different."

Alabama QB Blake Sims said RB T.J. Yeldon has been smiling a lot lately: "When T.J.'s smiling, I know he's going to have a big game." <--- Ohhh Snap!

I hope ya'll are right. I hope they show the players that stinking kick from last year over and over again until it makes our players mad as hornets and then show it to them some more.
Based on what the players are saying, No one wants to see the video... It sounds like they all got something planned....
