Alabama Football: 5 Toughest QBs Crimson Tide Will Face in 2016

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — One of the potential problems that the University of Alabama has in developing defensive game plans for the upcoming 2016 season is that a lot of them might have to be significantly reworked during the weeks and months ahead.

Roughly half of the teams have yet to name a starting quarterback, and in some cases those competing have a very different style of play.

Mississippi State is a good example. Head coach Dan Mullen doesn’t appear to be close to naming a starter between sophomores Nick Fitzgerald and Elijah Staley, junior Damian Williams and redshirt freshman Nick Tiano.
