How will Alabama defend so many LSU weapons on Saturday night

00:00 >> Coach, on Monday you outlined LSU's skilled position players.
00:03 With so many different great skilled position players,
00:05 what kind of challenges does that present the defense?
00:08 And how challenging is that on you as far as personnel packages for your defense?
00:14 >> Well, they got a lot of good players and
00:17 I think that if you single out one guy from a skill standpoint,
00:20 even though number eight's been phenomenal all year, so is number 11.
00:26 They got some other guys, and tight end's a really good player.
00:28 The running back's a really good player, the quarterback's a really good player.
00:31 So what it comes down to is everybody's sort of got a personal challenge.
00:37 That they have to get their job done on all 11 guys.
00:41 I mean, the guy's rushing, gotta keep the guy in his pocket so
00:45 he can't take off running or scramble.
00:47 The guy's covering, gotta cover.
00:48 When he scrambles, they gotta plaster their guy so
00:51 that they don't give up big plays on scrambles, whether it's runs or passes.
00:56 So it just takes 11 guys that really are out there doing their job every play
01:02 at a very high level because you're gonna play against really, really good players.
01:07 And you gotta be able to play the next play.
01:09 I mean, it doesn't matter when you're playing games like this.
01:12 All right, to me, the most important thing is the other team's gonna make some plays,
01:17 we're gonna make some plays.
01:18 But we have to respond to the next player.
01:23 No matter what happened on the last play, we made a good play,
01:26 we gotta respond to the next play.
01:27 Gave up the play, we gotta respond to the next play.
01:30 That's on offense, that's on defense.
01:32 And going back to Jadam, that's important for him too,
01:35 because we're not going to have success on every play that we run on offense.
01:40 All right, but how you respond to those things help you sort of stack some
01:44 positives, all right, and not get frustrated, don't get down on yourself.
01:48 Just keep on focusing on the next play, all right?
01:51 What's happening now?
01:52 This next play is the most important thing.
01:54 We can do that one play at a time for 60 minutes of the game.
01:57 That's what everybody's gotta do.
