SEC QB breakdown: Alabama Crimson Tide

This is getting to be a regular thing for Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, who will coach his third starting quarterback in three years with the Crimson Tide.

The first two years could not have gone much better, as 2014 starter Blake Sims and 2015 starter Jake Coker now sit first and second among Alabama’s single-season passing leaders. Now Kiffin will attempt to make it three successful seasons in a row as he and Nick Saban pick a starter from the competition between Cooper Bateman, Blake Barnett, David Cornwell and talented early enrollee Jalen Hurts.
