i saw the text early last week. not sure when it was sent. most everyone in this thread would recognize the name of the sender.

You need to update your location.

It's semi true but they change reps a lot I wouldn't read into it just yet.

The coaches decided on the game 1 starter after Saturday's scrimmage. As for who they picked, I don't know.
Posted on 8/22/16 at 8:39 am to crimson crazy
That's correct but they didn't practice yesterday so reps before do not matter they change it up a lot.
Posted on 8/22/16 at 8:39 am to crimson crazy
So should we know who is starting after practice today?(If they are practicing today, Idk)

I'm not even sure how much rep numbers will matter this week because we'll most likely two, maybe three QB's in that first game. They all need reps.

Gun to my head gut feeling prediction:
Bateman starts against USC. Plays 3 series. Doesn't do anything noteworthy.
Hurts comes in on 4th series (possibly gets a snap or two on a gadget play prior to this).
Game two the roles are flipped. Hurts starts and plays until the lead is comfortable- Bateman gets two series- Barnett finishes it off.
Game 3 is Ole Miss. Show time. I think regardless of what happens in game 1, the guy that gets the most meaningful reps in game two is who the staff thinks gives us the best chance going forward. Unless Bateman lights USC up early in the game, then Hurts is going to get a crack at it- same goes if Hurts starts. The staff needs to see who can run the offense against live bullets in prime time.

Saban won't show the media anything unless he breaks his routine.

Barnett is not playing. If he does we suck at QB bad.
Posted on 8/22/16 at 2:15 pm to CrimsonBoz
It seems to me that Barnett has all the tools except a working brain. Sad for the guy but if you want to play the game you got to produce.
Not to put a ton of pressure on Hurts but from his high school vids and what had been posted here he may be that once in a 1000 QB who can keep UA on top.
Hope so.

Shannon Terry hinted that Hurts is the guy and "won over the coaches and players"
But still vaguely implied Bateman would be the game one starter saying he expected Hurts to be the guy "by mid season"

Welp, if Shannon says it, it's true. Jalen Hurts is going to happen. I'm petrified and ecstatic all at the same time.
