After losing Bryce Young to the NFL, Alabama and coach Nick Saban enter the 2023 season with the unenviable task of finding the star quarterback’s replacement.
For Saban, the start of Alabama’s preseason camp on Thursday also meant the genesis of weeks of questioning regarding who’ll fill the void left by Young, who was drafted first overall by the Panthers in April.
As expected, Saban, ahead of his 17th season in Tuscaloosa, addressed the QB1 competition early in his first media session of the new campaign. However, rather than dive into any specifics, Saban chose to make one thing clear: the Tide are in no rush to name a starter.
