Nick Saban has three candidates at quarterback, but keeping quiet as to who the starter might be

With just eight days remaining before the season-opening contest against Wisconsin, Nick Saban said three quarterbacks remain in contention for the starting job, and that he hasn’t ruled out playing multiple quarterbacks.

Senior Jake Coker, redshirt sophomore Cooper Bateman and redshirt junior Alec Morris have separated themselves out of the five.

“Those are the three guys that got the bulk of the work,” Saban said. “Everybody gets work. Everybody’s working but those guys got the bulk of the work.”

Saban didn’t mention a hierarchy within that group, but as the game nears the rep division gets more critical.
