TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) – Jake Coker threw a long touchdown pass and had an interception returned for a score in Alabama’s spring game.
Coker was easily the most productive of the Crimson Tide quarterbacks on Saturday in his second bid to win the starting job after transferring from Florida State last summer. He led the White team featuring the first-team offense to a 27-14 win over the defense-led Crimson before 65,157 fans.
Coker completed 14 of 28 passes for 183 yards, hitting ArDarius Stewart in the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown.
Coker is the only candidate to replace Blake Sims who has thrown a college pass. He had an interception returned 51 yards by Maurice Smith. David Cornwell passed for 110 yards but threw two of the quarterbacks’ six interceptions.
It was a showcase game for young wide receivers Stewart and Robert Foster, who each topped 100 yards.
