"He threw the ball to the guys that he was supposed to throw it to," Saban said. "He made the right reads based on the call that was made and based on the way Wisconsin was playing. You know, if they're playing split safeties, you're supposed to throw it to one side. If they're playing middle of the field closed, you're supposed to throw it to the other side. So it's not like Jake went out there and said, 'I am going to throw to a lot of different guys.' He threw it to the guy that he was supposed to throw it to all the time in the game, which was a very good thing.


The best part of the game to me. I was worried on which QB would start and if he would have problems making the right reads. Coker really did a good job of reading the defense and going through his progressions. The TD to Foster was really impressive once ESPN did a breakdown of it.

The receivers looked really solid all around though for this game. If Coker can ever get any touch on the deep ball, then this offense will be unreal.

He's spent 5 years in the film room with any of the following:

Jimbo Fisher
Lane Kiffin
Nick Saban


People were making out like he couldn't read a defense, but against Wisconsin he was doing a pretty good job of it. Hope he completes 2-3 deep balls this Saturday to get his confidence on those up. You can just tell he likes to unload the ball deep.
