— Saban on the QBs: "When we're going to take the cake out of the oven, we're going to tell you"
— Saban said WR Thaiu Jones-Bell is taking a medical year. He was removed from the roster today.
— Sophomore running back Jamarion Miller will be out a couple of days with a strained quad.
— aban said he feels Alabama has four capable running backs at the moment — Jase McClellan, Roydell Williams, Jam Miller and Justice Haynes. Summer enrolee Richard Young is also part of the unit but has some catching up to do from a developmental standpoint.
— Saban said Alabama is moving players around in the secondary in order to get the best five guys on the field. UAB transfer Jaylen Key is someone capable of playing at deep safety as well as STAR.
— Saban said Notre Dame QB transfer Tyler Buchner is still getting comfortable with the playbook and his new teammates.
— Saban said he feels JUCO transfers Malik Benson (WR) and Justin Jefferson (ILB) could both be contributors this season. He said Benson has acclimated a bit faster because it is easier to do so as an offensive player than it is as a defender.
