If Coker was the better player he would have been out there yesterday afternoon.

Absolutely.

You know, Saban's could use the same remarks about Kiffin in talking about Sims.

""You know, the guy is a really good (QB) now, all right," Saban said. "Y'all need to fess up to that."

Here were Saban's remarks about the comparison between Sims and Coker...which everyone probably saw...and he could follow that up today with "I tried to tell you guys..."

""I think both guys have done a really good job and I think that Blake has a lot more familiarity with the system, having been here longer. I think he's more comfortable in doing the things that we do and has done a really good job. Has played really, really well in this fall camp, has played well in the scrimmages. The team has had a good rhythm when he's in there at quarterback.

"Jacob is obviously the newer guy of the two, who doesn't have the same knowledge and experience. I think we're just trying to get him more and more familiar so that he play with the rhythm that we need to play with offensively. I just think it's about confidence. It's kind of an interesting thing."
