Nick Saban addressed the media after the Crimson Tide's victory over Florida State on Saturday. Saban will look ahead to the team's matchup against Fresno State this weekend.

Here is a summary of what he said:

-- Recapping the game, Nick Saban said he was pleased with the team overcoming adversity. He was not happy with the execution from play to play. He said the difference in the game was the amount of errors Florida State made, especially on special teams.

-- Saban confirms Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis are out for the year. He said Anfernee Jennings and Rashaan Evans have "significant injuries" that are not long-term. He listed Jennings and Evans as questionable.

-- Saban said Fresno State's Jeff Tedford is one of the best coaches on offense he's seen. He called the Bulldogs, who finished 1-11 in 2016, a "much-improved" team.

-- Saban said the losses of Miller and Lewis will prompt other players have to "step up."

-- Saban said at times Jalen Hurts left the pocket sooner than the coaching staff would have liked. But overall he was pleased with the quarterback play.

-- Asked whether outside linebacker Ben Davis could play a bigger role, Saban didn't offer a definitive answer. "We'll see," he said.

-- Saban said there were opportunities to make "explosive plays" and said that offensive line protection shortfalls and decisions to "abort the play" by Jalen Hurts contributed to the lack of them.

-- Saban said there is belief Andy Pappanastos could be better as the placekicker but that the coaching staff is supportive of him as he works to improve.

-- Saban said he thought cornerback Trevon Diggs was nervous and anxious and that his replacement, Levi Wallace, did a "really, really good job."

-- Saban said he could see running back Josh Jacobs start practicing this week but doesn't know his status for the game. Jacobs has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the middle of August.

-- Saban said that it will be hard to move inside linebackers to the outside because that would create holes at the positions they vacated. Instead, he said, it may be easier to promote younger reserves and give them bigger roles.
