CECIL HURT: A-Day conclusion: Don't draw conclusions

Nick Saban says, whatever you do, don't rely on the draw.

"Don't draw conclusions," he cautioned after Alabama wrapped up its annual A-Day game, a 7-3 Crimson team victory that probably would have unsettled a fan base that hasn't grown accustomed to seeing low-scoring spring scrimmages turn into championship offenses in the fall.

Why shouldn't we draw conclusions?

"Because you'll be wrong," he said.

That reasoning is a synthesis of three factors. First, everyone knows you can't read too much into an A-Day, or any scrimmage. Second, he was talking to the media and Saban automatically assumes that we are wrong 90 percent of the time.
