TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban will admittedly tell you that he still doesn’t have a definitive read on what is his fifth Alabama football team.

He likes this team’s effort, the way it’s competed and the way it’s played as one. He would still like to see it play smarter and with more precision.

Chances are the No. 3-ranked Crimson Tide will have to on Saturday when they dive into SEC play against No. 14-ranked Arkansas.

Through three games, Alabama has been tested only once and pulled away from Penn State for a 27-11 victory the second week of the season at Beaver Stadium. The Crimson Tide overwhelmed outmanned foes Kent State and North Texas in their other two contests.

Saban, whose Alabama teams have won 22 of their last 23 games at Bryant-Denny Stadium, sat down with ESPN.com earlier this week for a wide-ranging interview:

How much do you know about your team at this point?

Nick Saban: Not a lot …  

Your defense leads the country in limiting teams to 2.52 yards per play, but the structure of this defense is different than your last couple of defenses, isn’t it?

NS: We’re not as good...

You’re the only coach in the modern era to win two national championships in football at two different schools. What’s it like for you, the chase for a championship?

NS: I think that’s the part you like the....

What about some of the recent NCAA issues that have affected so many of the schools?

NS: The rules things that get blown up now used to be considered minor. Now, it’s like these things are the same as giving a guy $200,000 to come to your school. A couple of illegal phone calls or text messages, and it’s like you’re a criminal of all criminals if you do anything that’s wrong.
