Alabama coach Nick Saban didn’t wait for a question to say whether sophomore Tua Tagovailoa or junior Jalen Hurts would start at quarterback when his Crimson Tide hosts Arkansas State at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN2.

“I think everybody knows that Tua’s going to start this game and we’re going to use Jalen’s skill set in the future to help however we feel he can benefit the team,” Saban said. “I think as parents out there you can relate to this: You love all your children, and sometimes some of your children do things a little better than others. That doesn’t mean you vilify one and put the other on a pedestal, especially publicly.

“You want to support and help both to be successful.”As for this week’s opponent, Saban said Arkansas State brings a fast-paced, speed ball offense to the Capstone. The Red Wolves tallied six touchdowns and more than 400 yards in their season opener.
