TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban had plenty of praise for Arkansas State University.
Saban is approaching Saturday's 2:30 p.m. contest against the Red Wolves as a stiff test, saying Arkansas State is unlike any other walk-in-the-park, unranked, nonconference foe for the Tide.
The Crimson Tide have improvements to make, he told reporters earlier this week. He also there's still confusion lingering around his two-headed quarterback situation where two capable men -- starter Tua Tagovailoa and former starter Jalen Hurts -- combine for one of the nation's best QB tandems.
But Arkansas State presents plenty of challenges for Alabama, as Saban explained in a few statements earlier this week related to the Red Wolves.
