Alabama fans will have to wait until Saturday to know the program’s starters, including the team’s quarterback when the Crimson Tide take the field for their 2023 season opener.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban elected to not release a depth chart of the team’s starters and backup players to eliminate “distractions” as well as to keep players motivated on competing for playing time.
“I want all of our players to continue to compete, continue to compete for playing time, to try to play at the highest level,” Saban told reporters, per ESPN. “And I don’t want anybody on our team to think they're a backup player or whatever.”
