Jalen Hurts lost a fumble on his first college snap.

Against the Trojans, Sims caught one pass for 12 yards. “And they have a lot of starters back on that team, like nine on offense”. While it probably felt really good for everyone on Alabama’s sideline, considering how his tenure in Southern California ended, it probably felt especially great for Kiffin. “Y’all never asked. It was the plan all along to figure out which one of those guys was going to start and manage this game the best and that Jalen Hurts was going to have a role in this game”. “Just turn your head and keep on walkin'”.
Georgia’s Nick Chubb rushed for 222 yards in his return from a gruesome knee injury, including a 55-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter that clinched the Bulldogs’ 33-24 victory over North Carolina. “So he said something, and Eddie said, ‘Hey man, this is not what we do”. “He’s going through some personal things to get himself in a very positive position and wants to continue to do those things in the future and professionally”. Even Alabama coach Nick Saban stepped in to break up the spat. It’s all at once prestigious and demands competency and mistake elimination above any form of real excellence.
Saban said he expects Hurts to learn from the game and improve.
He hopes to see some improvement when Alabama has its home opener at 2:30 p.m. CDT Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium against Western Kentucky.
These comments didn’t shock me that much because I knew that Saban was a perfectionist. So we made a decision today for now.
Jackson was not initially seen by the ABC cameras, but Harrison later apologized to his veteran teammate over social media, writing: “We competitors, sometimes we wanna win so bad our heads class”. And everybody here wanted to know who the quarterback was going to be, all right? We still need to get more guys who can play winning football and create more depth on our team.
Blake Barnett had the helm for the first two uneventful drives against the Trojans, and then Saban skipped over Cooper Bateman and went right to Hurts, whose style doesn’t match the typical Alabama profile. And when his receivers escaped out the back door of the opposing defense, he found them, capitalizing for touchdowns.
