TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama head coach Nick Saban held a press conference following the Crimson Tide's fifth practice of fall camp on Wednesday at the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. Below is everything Saban said in his second media availability of preseason camp.

"I’ve been fairly pleased with the way the players have gone about their work so far. I think that one of the things that we have to to get more guys to play winning football even when the circumstances get difficult. One of the terms that I came up with is, 'Run hard when it gets hard to run.' I think some of the younger guys on the team, it’s hot and you’re tired, you’re not used to that many reps. But we need those reps so we can practice until we can’t get it wrong, not just until we it right.

"One of the things we’re trying to establish that we talked about before is, to me, everything starts with discipline. I don’t care if it’s how you do flex, I don’t care if it’s how you run across the field, how you do karaoke, how you do high-knee, how you do up-downs, if you don’t respect that enough to do it right when you know that’s the right way to do it, how are you going to be trusted in the game to do what you’re supposed to do? Because I think discipline is a mindset that’s part of who you are.
