he did reward seniority this past year at more than one position.

Please list each position, along with the name of the player, where Saban sat the better option and put an inferior player in the field.

Quarterback
RT
RG
SS
LT
WR

Najee Harris should have gotten the carries that were given to Bo.

Tua was clearly better than Hurts.

Alex Leatherwood should have started at LT with Williams moving to RT.

Cam Sims should have been second string to any of our 3 freshmen receivers.

Hootie Jones should have been second string behind Thompson.

There were likely more than one kid better than Lester Gotten at RG.

It happens all the time but Saban used to have no problem playing the more talented freshman. He played seniority. He won a championship so it didn't matter but due to sticking with a subpar Hurts we got our arse kicked by Auburn. I remember Gene Stallings starting a senior Dennis Riddle over Shaun Alexander. Obviously just my opinion but I am not alone.
