On Wednesday, Nick Saban addressed a few different topics at his game-week presser.

After providing injury updates on LaBryan Ray (defensive end) and Carl Tucker (tight end), he spoke on punter Ty Perine still being in the competition at the position. As he takes on Jeremy Pruitt and the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, Saban talked about the importance of handling success. The Crimson Tide is coming off a huge win over Georgia and needs to maintain focus.
