It has certainly not been Sabans MO to start a younger talent over a more experienced player.


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.

I think the thing there is that Bateman has been just as turnover prone (if not more) than Hurts has, and Barnett even more so.

So, if the true freshman takes care of the ball as well or better than the upperclassman.........
