He was terse and a little rude with the reporter. I know ESPN likes to blow things up in their headlines, but nobody was "attacked".
There is no QB drama. Its all a media fabrication. There isn't a Hurts faction and Tua faction dividing the team. Tua is the QB. The game was well out of hand before Hurts got his reps. The issue for Saban is that he doesn't want to disrespect Hurts by making public proclamations. But its pretty clear that Tua is special an Hurts is not. If the drama was going to effect them, you would have seen it against Louisville. Sure Louisville had a new QB. ..........and Bama had a new defense. They lost their entire secondary and defensive line. They lost their best WR and OT too.
I went to the Auburn game. They won't be able to stop Bama's offense and they don't have a rb.
Keep talking. Its going to fun watching you eat crow all year.
Saban was a jerk but that isn't new. Always has been.
Guy is uniquely driven to win and that comes with the territory it seems.
Bama is picked to go undefeated every year and hasn't in 10 seasons.
They play 3 pointless games and Louisville is a very down team.
Saban is testy because Hurts is going to transfer.
Saban could have named Tua starter months ago as everyone knew he was the better QB.
He created drama/noise where there didn't need to be any.
Bama seems to be handed a free loss yearly but it will be tough this year to beat Auburn and Georgia in back to back games as I suspect will be required.
Then again maybe they lose to Auburn, lose the division and get to skip facing Georgia to cruise to the playoffs like last year.
But I suspect that path will be very rare.
Auburn's QB Stidham is very, very good and Bama is the team that is the target of everyone.
It has caught them yearly so I expect a loss catches them again.
Louisville is predicted to win 7 games and finish 5th in the ACC, beating them without a known QB doesn't prove much.
