Meet the quarterbacks hoping to move up Alabama's depth chart
It's Depth Chart Day at Alabama. Woo-hoo!
It's a fascinating time where coach Nick Saban is compelled to release a depth chart he insists doesn't exist. Ask him and he'll tell you there's no first, second or third team. Everything is fluid, he'll say. They only sketch a depth chart out for the game program, and we in the media eat it up.
So today, Saban will finish his weekly Monday press conference with the media and then the depth chart will be sent out, either a hard copy or e-mail. And we'll scan it quickly. And we'll see a familiar line separating at least two of the quarterbacks: "- OR -".
Sigh.
