ATLANTA -- It was as if Jake Coker wanted to finally let off some steam.
Moments after the blue-and-yellow confetti drenched Alabama's quarterback and his teammates following their 29-15 win against Florida in the SEC title game on Saturday, Coker sat in the hallway outside his team's locker room with a huge grin on his face. But this grin had some bitterness and annoyance behind it after he was asked if he did much running before getting to Alabama.
"No one's ever told me I was unathletic until I got here," Coker said.
