Fischer: Coker. If you watched any of the Alabama spring game, you understand how badly the Crimson Tide need Coker to live up to the hype for the team to make it to the SEC Championship game. Coaches have raved about him, but will he be able to get up to speed quickly in Lane Kiffin's complex offense? That remains to be seen, but the pressure is clearly on Coker, who is only replacing a starter who went 36-4 at Alabama over the past three years.
