It was encouraging that both players played better as they played in the game, which should be expected of freshmen. Hopefully we'll see big improvement in this game." Looks like Saban will be playing them both again. I like the idea of both of them getting the experience at this point, plus, with 2 completely different styles, it makes the opponent's job harder to prepare for us. Will be interesting to see if he plays both against Ole Miss.

To me, they have styles and skill sets that are both different and overlapping. I'll take that. Gives opposing D's a lot to think about.
I can see Barnett starting and Hurts coming in, especially in 4th qtr when D's are getting tired, and running all over the place. You are not going to arm tackle Hurts. He's too strong.

Sagan frequently surprises us, but I don't see him going with a two QB system for long. He wants a leader the team will unify around.

You know all the talk about him being the guy this year and now all of a sudden he is not being mentioned. RTR!

He looked like he was having a good time when he finally got into the game last week. |
