Before tonight’s Alabama-Louisville game, Bama coach Nick Saban was unsure of who was going start at QB for the team this season.
“I think we have two guys that are weapons, and they’ve both played well, so the plan is to play both guys in the game,” head coach Nick Saban told ESPN’s Chris Fowler in an interview that will air Saturday, according to ESPN.com. “So the only issue is who plays first, and we’ll decide that when the time comes.”
Tua eventually got the start and absolutely crushed it which pretty much means Jalen Hurts is on the outs.

After Alabama put a 51-14 beat down on Louisville , ESPN’s Maria Taylor asked Saban if he had found an answer at QB in the team’s first game. Saban responded by lashing out at Taylor and telling her quit asking that question because he didn’t have anything bad to say about either player.

The Internet had some reactions to Saban’s attitude towards Maria Taylor.

Nick Saban owes Maria Taylor an apology, he talked to her like she was some young girl and not a professional woman doing her job.
