CECIL HURT: No reason for Nick Saban to name QB if he doesn't have to

At some point, people are going to get the message.

Nick Saban is not giving you the message before he has to. Once again, Saban’s Thursday press conference had sort of a Sherlock Holmes feel to it, with reporters (just doing their job, to be fair) looking for clues in every word. They were scarce. Saban listed three quarterbacks as getting the most work: Jake Coker, Alec Morris and Cooper Bateman. Gasp if you must — but those are the exact three quarterbacks he discussed (with statistics no less, at least in terms of passing attempts) after last Saturday’s scrimmage.
