Chris Fowler's conversation with Nick Saban apparently didn't end well

One of the most talked about stories in college football is how the Alabama quarterback situation will unfold between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa.

ESPN broadcaster Chris Fowler was the latest to discuss the competition with Alabama coach Nick Saban, and just as he’s been with local and other national media, Saban defiantly bristled at Fowler for trying to get more information out of him. Saban is doing his best to keep any plans under wraps until kickoff on Saturday night against Louisville in Orlando on ABC.

Phone conversation w/ Saban. A topic: how will he use his QBs this year? Eventually, Nick says “you’re just trying to pry information out of me. And I’m trying not to reveal anything. Aight?” Yep, that’s pretty much spot on. To be continued next week! @AlabamaFTBL

Although Fowler didn’t go into details, Saban previously has deflected leading questions about the consensus opinion by fans and media that Tagovailoa, the former backup, who came in at halftime of the national championship and led the Crimson Tide to victory over Georgia, would start ahead of Hurts.

“I don’t think you should assume anything. If I’m ready to tell you, I’ll tell you. If I’m not, I won’t,” Saban said recently.
