Here's a question for you.It didn't take Nick but one play to send to the bench vs Ole Miss and he didn't make it back as a starter. Many good to great DB's have been beaten at Bama but they never got pulled like #4.
Of all the DB's that have been beaten out, how many of those were benched because they quit on a play? With Savion, he literally quit in pursuit. To me, it's not a hard lesson for him to learn.
It's my understanding it wasn't him being beaten that led to the benching, it was him quitting on the play. You and I both know damn well that's not going to sit well with Saban.
