Bradley Sylve, Eddie Jackson and John Fulton have all tried their hands there this season and none has separated himself from the pack. "We were pleased with the way Cyrus played," Saban said. "We have a lot of confidence in Bradley Sylve, if we can get him healthy. There's certainly going to be competition at every position with guys that have played well for us in the past."
