On Monday afternoon a very “tranquil” Nick Saban met with the media following the Tide’s 30-10 victory over Mississippi State.

Coach Saban expressed his satisfaction in respect to overall team toughness, discipline, effort and how the team played and responded as a whole.

Turnovers and mental errors are still a cause for concern, but Saban seemed very pleased...all things considered.

On the injury front, offensive lineman Barrett Jones is doubtful for the Thursday night contest against Georgia State.

Jones sustained an ankle injury during the early portion of the game against Mississippi State.

Defensive back B.J. Scott will have surgery on his ankle later this week in order to fix a tendon issue. Nick Saban said the injury has been a concern for several weeks and surgery was the best option in Scott’s case.

Tide running back Trent Richardson is still dealing with a minor knee injury which he sustained during the contest with LSU.

Richardson could have played (if needed) against Mississippi State but remained sidelined due to lack of practice time and proper evaluation.
