As the start of the season draws near, Saban not ready to name a starting QB

University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban said it was "judgment day" before the Crimson Tide's season opener against Southern Cal. Preparation for the Trojans begins on Friday, meaning it's time for the coaches to decide who will play, and who will receive reps in practice as part of the game plan.

But he said nothing had been finalized on Thursday, including the battle at quarterback.

"As of right now, no decision has been made on anyone in particular (at quarterback)," Saban said. "We're going to continue to do that until somebody sort of takes the bull by the horns and does what we think he needs to do to have a chance to play winning football for us on offense.
