Saban Experiments with Positions
Alabama fullback Baron Huber and defensive tackle Brian Motley got a look at different positions during yesterday's practice. Huber worked at linebacker and Motley spent time on the offensive line, where he started his Alabama career, because a broken finger limits what he can do on defense.

Arenas showing he's more than a return man
The Alabama player known for his shifty, sometimes explosive special teams plays always believed he was more than just a return man. Defensively, coach Nick Saban said Arenas' coverage abilities improved as the season went along, prompting the position shift. He had two interceptions in the Tide's first spring scrimmage last weekend. "He's got really good quickness and he's covered well and has got a better understanding of the overall scheme from playing both positions," Saban said. "He's had a really good spring so far."
