Nick Saban provides insight into how many pass attempts each quarterback made and which quarterbacks looked good in the final scrimmage of fall camp. Read more...

"Cooper Bateman, who split time at receiver in the spring, led the way with 27 pass attempts. Fifth-year senior Jake Coker, who was hobbled by a toe injury earlier in the week, was second with 26 passes, followed by Alec Morris with 21 and freshman Blake Barnett with 11. Saban didn't mention redshirt freshman David Cornwell, who entered fall camp as a legitimate contender for the starting role, for the second time this week."

The Tide practiced Tuesday afternoon Read more...

— Running back Bo Scarbrough hopped on his injured right leg during one drill, another indication of how rapidly Scarbrough is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the spring.

—Cornerback Bradley Sylve practiced, days after — according to a source — breaking his hand and undergoing surgery to repair the damage. Sylve had a large cast on that covered his right hand/wrist area.

— Right tackle Dominick Jackson was also back practicing after suffering a strained shoulder during the Tide's scrimmage Saturday....

All of this talk about Morris, but Coker is still with the first team during every practice.  It doesn't sound like CNS is making a move away from him ... yet.

Well chechem you remember how last year we all and I say we all, because a lot of us thought Coker was going to walk in and take right over but it didn't happen. Neither it might happen that morris will be the man. CNS keeps us all intrigued and his team under wraps until he deems it is time to uncover it. lol, RTR!

I remember, Preacher.  Just wish Morris could run (for his life) like Sims!

I don't think Morris is much of a runner.  Even Coker seems better in that Department.  If Bama decides to head that direction, one of the freshmen would be a better option.

I don't want a running QB.  But last year it was good to have one who could run.  His legs beat LSU last year.
Hopefully this year we will have a QB who distributes the ball and lets the other athletes do the running.

I'm still worried about him. Can he still make a sharp cut, stop then accelerate quickly, twist & dodge, etc?
Has anyone seen him in practice doing these things? Thanks.

All the reports I've read said that everyone thinks it's just short of a miracle that he's come back from the injury so quickly. Apparently, he's good as new.

Either way, he's got plenty of time to recover yet.  He won't play for another month (or more).

True dat! He's got to wait out a 4 game suspension.

I've seen him scramble and he moves pretty good. In most cases when he has to scramble he's been good at finding a receiver to dump it off. He's quicker than some may think.

The only thing keeping Scarbrough out of the game is his suspension. If you didn't see the brace/wrap on his knee you would never know he had been injured. He shows no sign of injury when doing his agility drills and they are very demanding. He wears that black jersey just to keep him well until he can play.
