Will Saban/Kiffin really keep the QB competition open?

I would think after a true freshman rolls up 4 TDs in a little over a quarter the battle would be over

Might as well keep the other team prepping for two as long as you can.

He also had 2 turnovers.
That's 2 huge strikes against you on the Saban scale.

It will be settled Saturday. Hurts will probably start, and if he shows out, then it's his. Barnett will still get more reps than our usual backups.

It's probably his job to lose now, but let's see how the Ole Miss game goes.

Will UF score more than 24 all year?

Blake didn't look scared shitless when we were up 30, so he's got that going for him!

Barnett played more consistent with 17 fewer plays.

Nobody will know until they are really challenged for at least the first 2 quarters...what a great position to be in for Saban!

That's why you aren't the best college football coach of all time, Joshua.

I've been hesitant to mention it because I know I'll suffer the wrath of the Hurts fan train, but I think Barnett played just as well.

I do think that Hurts' running ability gives him a bit of an edge, all other things equal. But, I'm also not fully convinced he's won the job. He did have two turnovers, and Barnett's passing was every bit as good, if not better than Hurts'.

In short, I think we need a larger sample size.
