In ArDarius Stewart's case, one of the players ahead of him on the depth chart, senior DeAndrew White, is battling a hamstring injury. It's White's third different injury of the season, and his status for Saturday's game has yet to be finalized. White was dressed out but not participating during Tuesday's media viewing session. Stewart was third in line during one individual drill behind senior Christion Jones and star junior Amari Cooper.

But Stewart was a starter Saturday before White suffered his injury. He was used on a designed play against LSU, and there were multiple plays against Mississippi State in which Stewart, the former Fultondale star, appeared to be the No. 1 option. Some of the plays looked similar to what Alabama would run with speedy running back Kenyan Drake before he broke his leg.

On the season, Stewart has seven catches for 98 yards.

"ArDarius Stewart is a fast, explosive guy who got to play a little bit more in this game, and we've been trying to play him all year long," Saban said. "He is a guy to me that can make explosive plays, and hopefully the experience that he gets and that he is getting is going to help him realize the importance of paying attention to detail, doing the little things right that he needs to do to be able to have success as a player.

Look out, Western Carolina!

Cooper is a once in a decade kind of player.  He will be missed next year for sure.  But, Coker is going to have a nice arsenal of weapons available, along with a talented and experienced O-line.  Bama's not slowing down anytime soon.

Providing Coker wins the job. 

In all seriousness, I expect another fierce QB competition next year.

Providing CNS lets the score be run up on W.C. I may be wrong but sometimes it seems as CNS does not want to run up the score. I may be trying to get in the head to much. IDK. RTR!

I would really like to see Tyren Jones get his head screwed on right and become part of the team. He has the Kenyan Drake type of speed and quickness which this team is really missing right now. Just maybe it will happen soon.

We were saying the same things about Drake for the last couple of years.  Hopefully he'll come around.
