Nick Saban doesn't expect Alabama QB decision to be 'easy'

A plume of white smoke has yet to filter out of the Mal Moore Athletic Facility.

No, Alabama's starting quarterback has not been chosen.

At least that's what Nick Saban said Thursday at the end of his news conference, when he was asked for an update on the competition between junior Jalen Hurts and sophomore Tua Tagovailoa with the team's last scrimmage of fall camp on the horizon.

"I don't expect it to be an easy decision," Saban remarked. "We have two guys who are great competitors, who are both really good players. They both have good fall camps, so I don't expect it to be easy.
