Alabama head coach Nick Saban met with the media for the final time before Saturday's game against LSU. Here are the highlights from his Wednesday press conference. The press conference is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., updates will appear shortly.
— Nick Saban opens with a question: "I think the thing that we're trying to focus on is how do you maintain your intensity?"
— Saban said it isn't fair to judge what the offense has been able to do because he notes "they have played a bit left-handed with Bryce Young being out."
— Saban: "Bryce Young hasn't been able to practice for about three weeks (since Arkansas game), but he's played well since then."
— Saban noted that the response from the team has been what he's been looking for out of the bye week, but he noted he'll have to see how the team plays against LSU.
"It's been very good. The response from the players has been very good. We've practiced well all three days this week. We'll see how we play."
— Saban on Ja'Corey Brooks: "The guy is a real competitor. He plays well for us on special teams. I don't care what you ask him to do, what role he plays or on whatever team he's on, he does it fast, he does it hard and he prepares well. He's attaching himself to the right things and I think that has sort of shown in his production and his performance."
