So much for insiders knowing what was going to happen

All you can reasonably ask of Boz and the other folks who see what we can't is to tell us what they see. I really appreciate Boz taking the time.

Saban explained what is holding Hurts back for now:

"What you have to be really concerned about is, is a guy ready to go out there and not just do things that he can do but can he run the offensive team?" Saban said. "The back's lined up on the wrong side. Is he going to put him on the right side? Is he going to be able to point out the protection right so we can pick up the blitz?"

There's no way Boz can see that at a practice and unless your inside info comes from Kiffin or the QB coach, your source may not be good at evaluating this.

At any rate, thanks Boz and everyone else to gave us 2nd-hand observations.
