**TFWIW**

So my buddy is in Dallas and is in pretty tight with the Morris family as he's from the north Dallas area.

I never ask him about the team or if he has insider info. But out of the blue I get a text last night saying he had actually talked with Alec's fam (dad I think, he just said "fam"). QB situation was resolved when Saban and Kiffin got in a "discussion" about who should start.

"Saban wants Coker and Coop to get the reps. Kiffin wants Alec to have a chance over Coop but Saban would rather not use 3. Thinks Coop > Alec in game."

This could be total bullshite, but I thought I'd share it since even as an unconfirmed rumor I found it interesting nonetheless.

Good info. I think Morris' inability to create positive plays with his legs is what is going to keep him from playing.

Bateman is legit fast and Coker is pretty athletic too.

Thanks for sharing nb, and that info pretty much goes with everything we have heard. Saban only started talking about 2 guys this week and he made mention of the guys having somewhat different skillsets, so maybe that also contributed to Alec being the odd man out.

Alec has the highest Football IQ out of all the guys, so having him on the sidelines alongside Kiffin in a clipboard role could help the other guys throughout the game. Regardless, so glad we will see the team in action in a few hours... RTR!!!!

Story is true. Kiffin came out of Saban's office so mad, he was shaking.
