Tennessee looks to snap a 15-game losing streak Saturday against Nick Saban and the Tide.
Nick Saban, Alabama head coach
On junior WR Jalin Hyatt: “He’s an outstanding player. He’s got really good speed. Their offense spreads people out, and they take great advantage of spreading the ball around to all their skill players. He in particular has made a lot of big plays, which they take a lot of shots, and they’ve converted a lot of shots. One of the keys to the game is not giving up big plays, and that’ll be really important for us if we’re gonna be successful against them on defense.
“Watching the game from last year, just seeing their quick tempo, even their games from this year, watching them against LSU, people are getting to the ball. The snap of the ball was like two seconds off the shot clock. So just being able to get up and get ready and play the next play.”On Hendon Hooker: “How comfortably he runs the offense and stuff like that. He is a good quarterback and stuff like that, but you can tell where he is going when he passes.
On Tide running game: “I think they do a great job of pressing combinations, delivering the offensive line to second-level blocks. I think they have a great pace as the run’s developing. They’re explosive with the ball in their hands. Once they hit the line of scrimmage, they’re able to get to full speed extremely well. I think they finish their runs, playing with great pad level. Gibbs obviously has great elusiveness, and the ability to make you miss is a home-run hitter.
