Nick Saban lavishes praise on Aggies ahead of Saturday matchup

Alabama coach Nick Saban isn't one to pay attention to point spreads or media predictions, Saban faces every week as if it will be Alabama's biggest test. Saturday when the top ranked Tide face off against number six Texas A&M Saban is expecting it to be a tough task for Bama, even if he is in the minority.

Saban has lavished praise on the Aggies this week.

A year ago A&M's Trayveon Williams was @ CE King. Today Nick Saban lauds him as 'dynamic running back, probably best we?ve seen all year'

Nick Saban on No. 6 Aggies: ?They?re very well coached. Kevin Sumlin has done a really good job there. Offense, defense & special teams?

Saban on Myles Garrett, Daeshon Hall: To be a really good rusher u have to be able to turn speed into power, which both those guys can do

Saban on Trevor Knight: "He's an outstanding athlete, very capable of running the ball." He's improved since we saw him last.

Alabama is a heavy favorite against Texas A&M, but the Aggies are a top-ten team, undefeated, and very talented. Saban and the Tide should be ready, they better be.
