For the third offseason in a row, the Alabama Crimson Tide will have one of the most watched quarterback battles in college football. This is a natural storyline. The defending national champions will be re-opening the competition for the most scrutinized position in the game.
Who will the Crimson Tide go with for 2016? Cooper Bateman, who started against Ole Miss last season? David Cornwell, who was at one time last spring considered a legitimate threat to win the job? Blake Barnett? Early enrollee Jalen Hurts will join the competition this spring as well.
