"We evaluate every position every week," Saban said Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference. "If guys want security in their position, they need to play well. Everybody on our team knows that. I think everybody has responded in a positive way to try to get better and improve and we'll constantly evaluate that position as we do every position."

Saban said after Alabama's loss to Texas that he did consider playing multiple quarterbacks, but Milroe then put a drive together for a touchdown to give Alabama the lead.

Milroe has thrown for five touchdowns and rushed for two, but he also had thrown two interceptions, both of which came against Texas.
