Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will start again for Alabama in Week 2, coach Nick Saban announced at a press conference Monday.
"Everyone knows that Tua is going to start and we're going to use Jalen [Hurt's] skill set in the future," Saban said, per ESPN's Alex Scarborough.
All summer, plenty of questions swirled around who Saban would name as this season's starter. Saban kept the mystery intact heading into Week 1 by listing junior Jalen Hurts and sophomore Tua Tagovailoa as co-starters.
Saban infamously benched Hurts at halftime in the College Football Playoff final in January to play Tagovailoa, and the Crimson Tide were rewarded as the true freshman rallied them from 13 points down for a 26–23 overtime win.
