To be fair, Tua could still redshirt AND be our true backup QB. If he doesn't play he will still redshirt, and as long as Jalen doesn't get hurt we can send whoever we want out there to take garbage snaps and Tua still redshirts if he isn't needed and does not play.

I still think that there will be QB competition next year, particularly if Tua and/or Jones come in with good arms and some down field vision. That`s with the presumption that Jalen doesn`t improve. As strange as it may be, and as accomplished as Jalen has been this year, I don`t know that he`s a lead pipe cinch next season.

It'll be hard to do. Just think, it would take a Freshman QB coming in that is even MORE special then Hurts is as a FRESHMAN. Can lightning strike twice for us? Its possible, but not something I'd count on actually happening.

The biggest thing helping us keep Tua with Kiffin out the door is having the "heir apparent" OC in Steve Sarkisian on staff all year.

I don't think anyone is counting on it, but it is a possibility.

Saban just said he believes Bateman and Cornwell will be with the team through the playoff.
