re: Jalen Hurts will start at QB for Bama next season.

Both will play in the early games - I imagine Tua's play will win out unless he is a pick throwing machine - Unless Hurts has some astronomical improvement in the offseason (he will certainly improve some, Daboll didn't put him in good positions for his skillset and Hurts confidence was shot at the end of the year) or Tua just doesn't have it all together and the 2nd half title game was the exception to far worse decision making / picks / mental mistakes.

Saban will play whoever puts the team in the best position to win. Tua is the odds on favorite after making great strides during the season - i don't see why he wouldn't continue to make similar strides but anything can happen I suppose.

ETA: I personally thought Tua would win the job in the offseason the whole year and without his performance in the championship game. Not sure if that is different than what most bama fans or not but I dont' understand some of these post championship fabricated qb controversy posts we have been seeing.
