The Alabama Crimson Tide put together one of its best performances in a road environment in quite some time on Saturday night with a 40-17 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville.
With the win, Alabama moves to 4-1 on the season and a perfect 2-0 in SEC play. The Bulldogs drop to 2-3 on the season and an abysmal 0-3 in conference competition.

Defensively, Alabama forced the Bulldogs into three turnovers, which proved to be costly for Mississippi State.
Following the victory Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban would speak to the media and discuss his team’s performance. Below is everything Coach Saban had to say:
