Alabama football will have a quarterback competition in 2020. Three guys behind Mac Jones must be developed and QB3 and QB4 are important roles.

Many Alabama football fans yearn for a quarterback battle between Mac Jones and freshman, Bryce Young. Young will get a chance to win the starting role. At least in the early weeks of next season, he is unlikely to beat out Mac Jones. Nick Saban will opt for experience unless Bryce is the far better QB during fall camp scrimmages.

Nearly as important to 2020 success will be the development of QB3 and QB4.
