The Crimson Tide are coming off a 41-0 victory over Florida Atlantic and Saban said on Monday that he is sticking with a two-quarterback system of Blake Sims and Jacob Coker.

“We need them both to work to improve, both players did good things in the game and both did things they can improve on,” Saban said of the quarterbacks.

Saban said he was happy with their performance against Florida Atlantic, but he wants to continue to push his team. He also noted what the team needs to improve on as they head into Saturday’s game.

“Finishing drives on offense, tackling a little better on defense,” Saban said.  “Do you have focus, stamina to get better? We have a lot more to prove.”
