Nick Saban took the podium after Alabama beat Texas A&M 45-23. Here's a taste of what was said:
-- Saban liked how the passing offense looked Saturday "but we didn't control the line of scrimmage." He didn't like the lack of rushing yards or the fact A&M got the ball back at the end of the game with a chance to score again.
-- Saban liked the way they responded when the Aggies had third downs. A&M went 3 for 12.
-- This ends a streak of four straight weeks of hard work, he will give players Monday off from practice.
