From what I've read, Blake Barnett is a turnover machine at practice. It's between Jalen Hurts and Cooper Bateman, with JH impressing but CB likely starting due to his experience and amount of time in the system.

I read all of that on here.


I figured Bateman would get the nod for the reasons you listed but the more I read from actual scrimmage observations and the more I listen to Saban's comments, I think it is going to be Hurts - which is simultaneously exhilarating and frightening.

They just need to let Hurts start, if he is as good as Bateman is and he is just a freshman, I would let him start and just deal with the freshman mistakes. Over time throughout the season he will get better and will be capable of playing against elite competition. If Bateman hasn't improved yet as a RS Jr I don't believe he ever will.
