It has certainly not been Sabans MO to start a younger talent over a more experienced player. I'm sure Hurts is as talented as all the reports say but playing in the game is a different speed. They will bait him into some bad throws it is part of the growing process.

I posted this in the fall camp thread, but Kinglaw (Reuben's uncle) said he has been hearing about Hurts from some of the players for a while now.

He hasn't heard anything definitive as far as the kid being named the starter, but it wouldnt surprise him if he was.

We'll see....don't doubt Boz's info but Saban's M.O. has always been going with the guy who can run the offense without turning it over. Turnovers will kill you. Heard Saban directly discuss it once: He said most football stats. are meaningless except one and that is the NFL's turnover margin.
