The apparent hiring comes after Alabama rolled to a 52-6 victory over USC on Saturday.

Redshirt freshman Blake Barnett started the game but only played two relatively ineffective offensive series before Hurts entered. The spark from Hurts wasn’t immediate; Alabama’s offense struggled for a while. “Now what?'” Tide junior center Bradley Bozeman said.
Alabama gained 12 yards on 10 plays in the first quarter, and trailed 3-0 before Hurts overcame the fumble to account for four touchdowns.
Stewart was wide open in the end zone behind the secondary when Hurts hit him for a 39-yard score midway through the second quarter that made it 7-3 and put Alabama ahead to stay.
“We had some good momentum in the first half”, Browne said, “and we should’ve done a good job of continuing that”. But I think (with) Jalen, each series he played he got more and more comfortable. It’s all at once prestigious and demands competency and mistake elimination above any form of real excellence. Next week against Western Kentucky in the home opener, Hurts figures to swipe that title. Barnett was 5-for-6 for 100 yards and one score. The Badgers, quarterbacked by De La Salle graduate Bart Houston, staved off the fifth-ranked Tigers’ desperate last-ditch drive for a 16-14 victory in a game played in Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. But we are far from a finished product, and we have a long way to go. And everybody here wanted to know who the quarterback was going to be, all right?
“We talked about this a while ago”, Saban said. He completed easy throws. In 18 games leading the.
“Jalen Hurts was going to have a role in the game”, Saban said. “We’re glad to have him as a part of the organization and hopefully he’ll be able to get back on his feet professionally and this will be beneficial to him”.
His play, though, made that role bigger than nearly anyone could have imagined.
Florida extended the nation’s longest winning streak in season openers to 27 by defeating University of MA 24-7, with Luke Del Rio throwing two touchdown passes in his first career start.
It took awhile, but Alabama eventually found its way in the opening half against USC. He also offered Alabama something more: a level of running ability we’ve never seen from an Alabama offense under Nick Saban.
Sarkisian was on USC’s staff with current Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin from 2001-03 and then again from 2005-06. “We’ve got to make the corrections extremely fast”. When you keep, the defensive end had better have crashed toward the back. But Harris was named the MVP of Alabama’s spring game.

Ben Boulware’s subsequent goal line interception only provided a temporary reprieve for a team that made the national championship game last season and is among the favorites to win it this time.
