Jalen Hurts jokes aside. Who starts/gets the most playing time against USC at this point and how much can things still shake up after today?

Well I'd say Bateman and hurts play against USC. Hurts has a stronger arm and is faster than Bateman. If he breaks one against USC the team will get behind him. I noticed yesterday there were much more plays called for hurts. Hurts is the only qb to score yesterday as well. So back to square one its Bateman and hurts and see what happens.

I would say, just guessing here, that Bateman takes the first series. But be pretty conservative. By the 3rd series, Hurts will be in, especially if we've had 2 3 and outs.
I just don't see Saban letting Hurts get the start in the big time, since he hasn't 100% made himself better than the others.
From what we've heard, he has made himself the best QB, but Saban knows that in the game is much different than the practice, so he will go with who has at least been there.

If Hurts gets the start, what happens to the old saying "the backup Qb is always the fan favorite"?
