Nick Saban said it after the 35-17 win over Wisconsin in Week 1

Here’s what Nick Saban had to say after the Crimson Tide’s 35-17 win over Wisconsin on Saturday evening:

Saban postgame: We kind of dominated the line of scrimmage and we were able to stop their run.

Saban: The plan early was to not put too much pressure on Jake Coker. Said Coker played well when they started to open things up.

Nick Saban: The thing about a first game is establishing a baseline and then continuing to improve.

Nick Saban on Jake Coker: “I thought he did a nice job. … It created a balance for us in our offense”

Saban on Coker’s decision making: He did a really good job. Said the sacks weren’t really his fault. Said Coker made good decisions.

Saban: We didn’t name a starter. We named who was going to start in the game.

— Aaron Suttles (@AaronSuttles) September 6, 2015

Saban: We don’t have a plan (for the QBs) We have a 24-hour rule. We’ll look @ film. We’ll make a decision based on what’s best for our team

Saban: We need to get O.J. Howard involved in the game more, and we will.

Saban said the team still has confidence in kicker Adam Griffith. He believes Griffith will make a lot of kicks for the team this year.
