An Alabama defender had a hilarious reaction when he suddenly realized during a press conference that he was about to say something Nick Saban would not have liked

• Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman Quinnen Williams - who is widely expected to be one of the top picks in the 2019 NFL Draft - hilariously saved himself from making a serious gaffe and getting in trouble with head coach Nick Saban.
• Williams spoke to the media in advance of Alabama's Saturday-night matchup with the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2018 Orange Bowl.
• When a reporter asked him a question about Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, Williams almost started trashing the Heisman Trophy winner before he seemingly realized his mistake and not-so-subtly avoided finishing his sentence.
