Nick Saban Sees One Key Advantage For LSU Against Ole Miss

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban broke down Saturday's highly anticipated LSU-Ole Miss matchup during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday.

Saban praised both offenses and had especially high praise for Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, calling him "probably the most dynamic player in college football."

But when looking for a difference between the two teams, Saban pointed to LSU's defense.

"I think the difference in the game is: how does LSU's defense match up with Ole Miss's defense?" Saban said.

"I think LSU's got some really good players on defense, and they've played really well on defense in two games, regardless of the rest of the stuff."

Saban added that Ole Miss has struggled at times defensively, particularly in the secondary, while LSU has shown him more on that side of the ball.

"I think right now LSU's advantage is they have a little better defense," Saban said.

LSU and Ole Miss will kick off Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. CT in Oxford.
