Alabama defeated West Virginia with a hard-fought 33-23 at Atlanta, but the win came at a cost, coach Nick Saban said Monday.

Senior defensive back Jarrick Williams fractured his foot and will miss at least four weeks. Williams has started 10 games in his career. Another senior, wide receiver DeAndrew White, has a separated shoulder and is expected to miss two weeks. White made six receptions for 73 yards.

Saban also said he isn’t sure which of his quarterbacks will get the start or how they will share the reps Saturday against Florida Atlantic. But he did commit to playing both players.

“When I figure it out, I won’t tell you,” Saban said with a smile.

Blake Sims started and completed more than 70 percent of his passes against the Mountaineers while playing most of the game.

The fifth-year senior went 24-for-33 for 250 yard and added another 42 rushing yards.

Jake Coker played toward the end of the game and handed the ball off.
