TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — As usual, no stats were released from Alabama’s closed scrimmage Saturday. Although, according to Nick Saban, it wouldn’t have mattered if they were.
While the head coach didn’t provide a direct status report on either Jalen Hurts or Tua Tagovailoa, one thing is certain — Alabama’s quarterback competition will go on past the weekend.
“We're going to evaluate the quarterback situation. We're going to keep looking at the guys,” Saban said following the scrimmage. “What somebody did today or didn't do today isn't going to win or lose them the job. It's going to be the cumulative effect and the consistency that they practice with and play with over time. That's in fairness to both players, who are really good competitors and really working hard, really doing a good job. We don't have much more to say than that about that situation.”
