What the Arkansas coach said about the game?
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman was complimentary towards Nick Saban's team during the weekly SEC coaches teleconference.
"Well our team's excited to go to Alabama," Pittman said. "They are playing extremely well. Defensively swarming to the football, really physical group up front. Defensive ends are outstanding."
He added on offense:
"Offensively, I think Milroe is leading the team exceptionally well. They've got a couple running backs that are really, really good. O-Line is big, Burton's playing fantastic, it's a huge challenge for us, but our kids are excited to go to Alabama and see what happens."
Sam Pittman is one of the coaches on the hot seat in college football due to his side's woeful form in the past four weeks.
What did the Alabama coach say about the game?
Alabama coach Nick Saban was not underestimating the Razorbacks despite their form and he said as much during his weekly press conference.
"Arkansas is really a good team," Saban said. "They've had some really tough games, some really close losses. But they've scored a lot of points. KJ Jefferson is a really good, big time quarterback. Big guy. Hard to sack. Can run. Very talented arm."
Saban also appreciated Sam Pittman and added:
"Sam [Pittman] does a great job with these guys in terms of their ability to run the ball, whether it's quarterback runs or whatever. They play very aggressively and very well on defense. They've got good specialists. A really good kicker. They've got a good running back."
For Nick Saban, this is a game to preserve the momentum that his team has gathered while Sam Pittman tries to put the brakes on a run of poor results.
