-- INJURY UPDATE: Alabama linebacker Zeke Knight and kick return specialist Jonathan Lowe each practiced this week despite sprained right ankles. They are expected to play "to some degree" Saturday, Saban said.
Knight could be replaced in an "emergency" by Rolando McClain, said Saban, who added that Lowe was being considered as an option at tailback before his ankle injury. His chances for carries would increase with Coffee on suspension.
"It could be Jimmy Johns, too," Saban said. "We'll just have to do the best we can with the guys that we've got."
I like the sound of having someone like Lowe trying tailback out. He seems to be a mini-Arenas. A really good athlete.
