Wrong. Cardele was 2nd string and had started in wins against Michigan and Wisconsin in the BIG 10 championship game was named MVP.
Ezekiel was the best running back in football and Herman used that.

You're wrong.

Braxton Miller was the #1 and injured his shoulder.
J.T. Barrett took over for Braxton. Barrett broke his leg vs Michigan.
Cardale took over and made his first career start in the Big Ten Championship game.

Braxton Miller #1
J.T. Barrett #2
Cardale Jones #3.

So yeah, I know it hurts.
But yes Bama did lose to a 3rd string qb making his 2nd career start.

Also, Saban called Herman after the championship game to pick Hermans brain on how he was able to shred the Bama defense.
So apparently Saban felt that it wasn't just a matter of handing the ball to Zeke.
