Jacob Coker is a member of two elite Tuscaloosa fraternities. Monday night was the public initiation into both. The first called for the starting quarterback to win a National Championship. Alabama, led by the fifth-year senior transfer, held on to capture the 16th school title by defeating the Clemson Tigers 45-40 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
He is President and standard bearer of the second distinguished brotherhood. Jacob Coker established a new school record winning the 14th game as a starter with no losses. His jersey number matched total eclipsed the 12-0 mark set by former Tide signal caller Steadman Shealy in 1979.
