Bama player jokes about having Nick Saban’s favorite snack on the sidelines

That’s one way to make use of an injury cart.

In a 2013 profile of Nick Saban, it was revealed the Alabama head coach eats two Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies for breakfast every day. During the Tide’s blowout victory over Texas A&M this past weekend, injured running back Kenyan Drake decided to get in on the fun on the sidelines.

Saban can get a bit steamed during games, so maybe Drake brought them as a safety precaution to help calm the coach down. The running back didn’t mind having a few himself, however.

An Alabama band member apparently got in on the action, too.

Drake fractured his leg during Alabama’s loss to Ole Miss earlier in the month, and will miss the remainder of the season.
