Nick Saban Mississippi State Week Monday Press Conference [VIDEO]

Nick Saban addressed the media Monday to unofficially start the game week for Mississippi State, the No. 1-ranked team in the nation whom the Crimson Tide plays on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

But before Saban looked entirely ahead toward the Bulldogs, he touched on Alabama's dramatic 20-13 overtime win at LSU, including Blake Sims and Adam Griffith's resiliency in the dying moments after struggling earlier in the game.

As for Mississippi State, he compared Bulldogs quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Dak Prescott to Tim Tebow and talked about the physicality of running back Josh Robinson, who has been arguably the top player at that position in the SEC this season with 984 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

Watch the video above to hear all of Saban's comments.
