Former McCallie School and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga star B.J. Coleman was the quarterback for the Arizona Rattlers in their Arena Football League game Saturday night against the unbeaten San Jose SaberCats. It was televised on ESPN2, and San Jose won 56-34. Coleman moved up to the top spot for the three-time defending AFL champions after Nick Davila -- who had played 92 straight games for Arizona -- was placed on injured reserve for the National Conference West Division leaders. Former Kentucky quarterback Shane Boyd was assigned to the Rattlers after Davila was IR'd.
