But he was replaced by Jalen Hurts.

Speight threw an interception on his first snap but bounced back with TD passes to Grant Perry, Jake Butt and Amara Darboh to put MI up 21-0 early in the second quarter.
Brohm said Saban’s defense against his possession passing attack won’t be a mystery. “Just turn your head and keep on walkin'”. At QB USF transfer Mike White completed 25 of his 31 passes for 517 yards and three touchdowns.
Saban confirmed the news at his weekly press conference. It’s all at once prestigious and demands competency and mistake elimination above any form of real excellence. Barnett edged redshirt junior Cooper Bateman for the job.
Saban added that he would not speculate on the quarterback plan for this week’s home opener against Western Kentucky.
“Shank (Taylor) was suspended for this game, even though we brought him on the trip”, Saban said after the game. “Did you ever make a “for-now” decision”.
“Each series he played he got more and more comfortable”, Saban said of Hurts after the game. We made a decision today for now. Besides the day-to-day stuff that we don’t see, there is the tangible stuff we do see. And everybody here wanted to know who the quarterback was going to be, all right?
“He’s going through some personal things himself to get himself in a very positive position and wants to continue to do those things in the future and professionally”, Saban said. And while Kiffin became an easy target for rival fans, he completely re-invented his career in his two seasons in Tuscaloosa. Stewart was all alone after a busted coverage in USC’s secondary.
His play, though, made that role bigger than nearly anyone could have imagined.
USC started quarterback Max Browne, but pulled him in favor of Sam Arnold when the game got out of hand.
It’s going to be interesting to see where this next step takes Sarkisian. Then the next thing you know, if you don’t want to hit that pitch, that’s all you see.
Sarkisian will reportedly take a role as a special assistant to the offense, joining offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, with whom he worked at Southern California.

ESPN “College GameDay” analyst Lee Corso has made his College Football Playoff prediction. When you keep, the defensive end had better have crashed toward the back. Alabama running back Damien Harris gained 138 yards on nine carries. File Hurts under “game-changer”. Using simple math, the current projection of when Saban would catch Bryant is midway through the 2026 football season. They’re coached by the best coach in the country. But no one seemed clued in to the fact that his tenure would last until the middle of the first quarter, when Hurts would come in and fumble.
