Two ESPN college football insiders fielded the same first question when they sat down with reporters on Thursday night in Mobile before appearing at the DEX Imaging/Reese's Senior Bowl 24th annual L'Arche Football Preview.
Ivan Maisel and Trevor Matich were asked to assess Alabama's quarterback situation. The Crimson Tide has two well-regarded signal-callers returning from its 2017 CFP national-championship team.
The SEC Offensive Player of the Year as a freshman in 2016, Jalen Hurts climbed Alabama's all-time lists in his second season as a starter. With 40 touchdown passes and 21 rushing TDs, Hurts ranks second in Crimson Tide history for touchdown responsibility.
