Alabama held on Saturday night to win a wild game over Ole Miss 48-43 in what has become one of the SEC's most unpredictable games. After the game Saban adopted the tone of someone who was just happy to get a win and get out of town. He didn't harp on the details, the mental mistakes or silly penalties. Instead he simply expressed he was happy to get the win.

Saban also may have delivered one of the best quotes of his time at Alabama right at the top of his postgame press conference.
Saban: "We got coaches getting IVs, players getting IVs. But the old fellow doesn't need an IV 'cause they don't make 'em like they used to"

Sabah jokes that the game was so tough that the coaches need IVs. Stewart only player probably out next week with sprained knee

Saban: ArDarius Stewart is questionable going forward with a knee sprain.
Minkah Fitzpatrick and Eddie Jackson should be fine.

Saban: players competed for the heart. Didn’t execute the best. Players will have an extra day off.

Coach Saban liked way his team ran the ball today...said they needed to throw it better but mentioned Jalen Hurts may have sprained wrist

Saban: "Ole Miss has a really good offensive team & Chad Kelly is a great player. This game was so wild & wooly. Difficult game for coaches"

Saban: "I think our players knew about the Florida State game with Ole Miss. We knew we just had to keep playing a 60 minute game."

Saban: "People who quit can't overcome burdens. I asked our team if they really loved each other, they can accomplish anything."
