Coach Nick Saban said he's still taking snaps under center, but they're trying something different.

"I just thought that maybe we could create a role that might be beneficial for our team and maybe be beneficial to him, because he's such a good athlete," Saban said after Saturday's scrimmage. "You know, he had really good measurables when we tested everybody. If we just rated the top 50 athletes on our team, he'd probably be one of them. So now is the time to find out if he could contribute at another position." ...

A QB who knows the playbook, has good hands, and wants to contribute ... can be a winnah.

"I thought he'd be scared a little bit but he went across the middle a couple of times."

I don't think Black thought this through.  QBs are hit all the time, probably more so than WRs, and by big DL men not DBs.  It goes with the position.
