It could be the year of the freshman for Alabama football. Up and down the lineup freshman are competing to start at numerous key positions and it looks like many of those freshmen are becoming the favorites to win those jobs. Jalen Hurts, Blake Barnett, and Jonah Williams have been some of the more talked about names, but there are freshmen poised to start or be number two at their position all over the team.

Is Nick Saban worried about so many young starters? Not in the least.

Saban on playing FR QB: I don't look at a guy to see if he's a freshman or sophomore or junior. It's about how fast he grasps his position.

Saban: "We'll probably have play more freshmen than we have for a while ...I do not have a problem with a guy's chronological age."

Nick Saban isn't worried and neither should you be, there's a lot of talent on this Tide team and age is just a number.
