Here is some good scrimmage info...I agree with him and Steele...I think Bateman starts but they both play..if Hurts has it, then it will be like when Aj and and Phillip sims battled and Aj was left in for more and more snaps...also, Barnett just has such a slow release and can't stop turning the ball over...

Updates?....Did we have another scrimmage yesterday?

There wasn't a scrimmage yesterday.

Nah but apparently Bateman and Hurts were taking all the first team reps...Also, the freshman Running Backs Emmons and Jacobs are really pushing for playing time...

I imagine Bateman starts against USC. But we'll see hurts also. I think hurts will end up the starter. I also saw an article saying emmons and Jacobs was the best two rb's on the team.

Damn ain't that a hell of a problem? Having so much talent that you don't know who you're gonna be playing?

I think ur right Cole...just hope Saban gives Hurts a legitamit chance and not just mop up duty cause Bateman was ok...heard Saban say Jacobs reminds him of Mark Ingram...if they can pass block, they can play...only thing that keeps em off the fiels

If either Hurts or Barnett becomes the starter the other will transfer.

"Saban struggling in making a decision. Doesn't want to start Hurts and have him fail because of youth. Kiffin says he is ready. Most likely Bateman will start and then Hurts very soon after."

I personally hope he is wrong. I want hurts. Bad

Whose quote is that?

A buddy got it from his dad who is in the Red Elephant Club and is friends with some assistant coaches...basically they have a very good idea of what is goin on so I'm just relaying the info...

So that is a direct quote from someone? Or do you just like to use quotation marks?

DK,
So he's got a buddy, who's got a dad in the REC, who knows a coach, who talked to another coach who says Hurts is ready though Saban is struggling.
Case solved, close the thread and let's get ready for the game.
Hope somebody is ready; I am.

Y'all believe what y'all want but the stuff I have gotten from him for the past 4 years has been spot on...the quotes was a direct quote from the coach or whoever the guy is and I just copied what my buddy sent me...but I'm pumped for the game Forsure! I just hope the tide will play well enough to win!!

It's all fun; we will all find out for sure Saturday.

Saban said in his presser today that it's either Bateman or Barnett.

Down to 2

Depth chart released. Hurts is 3rd string. Direct quote from Head Coach Nick Saban...."Bateman and Barnett are the two guys we're getting ready to play".

Here's a link to the depth chart....

So Hurts probably really is going to start.

^^^^^^ Probably after first snap.

Yeah idk I was really surprised...all barnett has done in every scrimmage is turn the ball over...his ball floats on roll outs...and bateman cant throw over 20 yards...but Saban did say Hurts has the ability to be a very productive player this season for us if he develops...Also, literally the other day Saban said "likely I'd tell yall about the qbs..." might be a coverup?? Idk just a thought...Interesting about Pierchebaker starting at RG with Bozeman at center...also, Diggs is gonna be a gamechanger at kick returner...people say he's faster than his brother...I'm excited
