Title: CBS Sports: Alabama's Nick Saban at SEC Media Days
Post by: pmull on July 23, 2011, 04:22:46 PM
The Crimson Tide were announced today as the overwhelming favorite to win the SEC, and some have speculated they could even start the season as the top-ranked team nationally.

Want to know why?

Just take a look at the nine Preseason All-SEC First Team selections, a conference record. But Saban acknowledges there are question marks, and one of the biggest ones is at the quarterback position. Sophomore A.J. McCarron and freshman Phillip Sims have been competing for the position, which still does not have a clear-cut starter.

"We're gonna continue to manage those guys through fall camp," Saban said. "Neither guy has a tremendous amount of experience, we have a lot of trust and confidence in both of their abilities. It will be interesting to see who plays better in a game, because we feel like both guys have done a really good job and both guys are talented enough to be very, very successful quarterbacks for our team."

Excitement is definitly in the air as Bama prepares to open their season. I hope these players aren't reading or watching too much of this hype that has been bestowed on them by the media and fans. I will feel better after I see the first game.
