ESPN staff writer Chris Low reports that Nick Saban spoke with colleague Sage Steele on Tuesday, with much of the dialogue centered around the ongoing QB battle between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa. Of note:
“I’ve told both players, ‘You’ve gotta win the team, and everything you do to bring attention to yourself, or anybody even in your family that brings attention to yourself, you’re not doing yourself a service in trying to win the team,’” Saban told ESPN on Tuesday.
It’s tough not to read between the lines on the family bit, after Averion Hurts made what seemed to be some ill-timed comments about his son’s potential free agency back in the spring.
