Jake Coker vs. Alec Morris vs. Cooper Bateman: Updates on Alabama QB Battle

With just more than a week until the season opener against Wisconsin, the defending SEC champion Alabama Crimson Tide are reportedly yet to decide on a starting quarterback.

ESPN’s Brett McMurphy noted Thursday that coach Nick Saban wants two quarterbacks ready and a third on standby for the game against the Badgers between Jake Coker, Alec Morris and Cooper Bateman. Saban even said he may play more than one signal-caller during the contest.

The Crimson Tide have national championship aspirations once again this season after falling short in the initial College Football Playoff, and the eventual decision could put them on the path to that title.
