Nick Saban has learned from all his assistant coaches at Alabama, but he admits Lane Kiffin taught him the most.
In Monday’s press conference, Coach Saban told reporters he learned offense from Kiffin.
He said Mississippi brings in the best offense in college football that Alabama will face.
Saban raved about the accuracy of Rebels’ quarterback Matt Corral and how Mississippi has improved on defense. SEC Nation will be at Bryant-Denny Stadium for Saturday’s matchup at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Despite Saban’s words, Kiffin reflected the attention on the Crimson Tide. During his presser, he explained why Ole Miss is a huge underdog.
“Alabama has no holes,” Kiffin said. “And even if they did, they filled them with free agents.”
Las Vegas Insider has the Tide as a -14.5 point favorite over Mississippi. Alabama and Ole Miss fans will be treated to a game that features two great coaches, two high-powered offenses, two Heisman Trophy contenders, and two defenses that look to create turnovers. CBS Sports will have the call as the game should be exciting.
