I trust Saban. So if he chooses a true freshman then that is the best decision for the program... He has made great decisions and his logic has usually been very sound.
Now he is a creature of habit and I would expect him to do what he believes has worked for him. I expect that we will see one of the two older guys start and probably do a 2 qb system until he sees who the lights come on for during the game. He has done it with Greg and star Jackson, AJ and Philip Sims aslo Jake and Cooper.
I think we will see Barnett and Hurts if it is as close as I have heard. But I don't care ultimately because I Trust Saban
PS. Don't believe anything from Touchdown Alabama..lol I did a little consulting work for them a few years back and I will just say that I would not find any reporting from them to be credible.
