Nick Saban has announced both Tagovailoa and Hurts will play in season opener according to ESPN’s Chris Fowler.
“I think we have two guys that are weapons, and they’ve both played well, so the plan is to play both guys in the game,” Saban said, according to Fowler. “So the only issue is who plays first, and we’ll decide that when the time comes.”
