Many expect QB Mac Jones to earn the starting job for Alabama in Week 1 of the 2020 season at Mizzou.
However, Jones will have to play well to keep that job all year should he win it, as freshman sensation Bryce Young is already making waves.
On Tuesday evening, OC Steve Sarkisian spoke to reporters and weighed in on the 2 quarterbacks. He said he loves Jones’s experience:

Sark: “With Bryce (Young), I’ve been really impressed.”
“Although it’s only been 2 practices, you see the natural passer in him, you see the feel for the game. There’s a lot to build on."

It’s still early in the fall practice season, as there’s still more than a month before Week 1, but with 2 talented quarterbacks going head t0 head, this will be a battle to watch moving forward.
