Many analysts and fans think the Alabama quarterback battle is over, especially after Tua Tagovailoa reportedly outplayed Jalen Hurts in the first scrimmage.
The Crimson Tide held their second scrimmage of the fall on Saturday following a rain delay, and apparently, things went much better.
Following the scrimmage, coach Nick Saban told reporters that he’s much happier with the way things went offensively, saying both Tagovailoa and Hurts played well:

Though Tagovailoa is still likely the front-runner to land the job, it’s apparently too soon to count Hurts out just yet.
There are still a couple of weeks of fall camp to go, but Hurts is seemingly closing the gap between him and Tagovailoa, at least a little bit.
