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.

La Tech was better if you look at total defensive rankings.

LSU has a defense that is significantly better than the Ole Miss defense which can not stop the pass. LSU shows up with a running QB who will certainly open up the passing game even more for LSU. It will be a blowout for the LSU Tigers.

Refs calling a fair game remains a significant concern.
