Nick Saban Talks Jalen Hurts, Early Signing Period, & Arkansas Preparation

Nick Saban held his final press conference of the week as Alabama wraps up preparations for a trip to Arkansas on Saturday.

The Crimson Tide has won eight straight in this series, but this is one of the better Razorbacks team in a few years.

"This is a team that tries to beat you with execution, good fundamental football. They do what they do extremely well. When you play teams like that, it's even more important that you can execute over and over and over again.

"This will be a challenge for us defensively because we haven't played against a lot of regular people this year. When I say regular, I'm talking about a tight end, two backs, and two wide receivers. They've got a very good running game and a very good play-action game."

Saban also talked about the play-calling strategy for Jalen Hurts, the early signing period proposal, and the benefits of allowing a 10th coach on staff.
