Nick Saban Both Quotations

I'm here to say that we're here to help both guys get better and improve, and we'll make the decisions based on what's best for our offensive team to get better.

I would have liked to determine it a month ago or two weeks ago. I would like to determine it. I don't have a problem with determining it. We are trying to determine it. But we don't want to upset the apple cart of what we are trying to accomplish with the development of both of these players by trying to determine something that is not ready to be determined.

It's something we need to continue to evaluate. It seemed the entire pre-season whichever quarterback has played second has played best. It's the second week in a row we gave Gus the opportunity to start, and A.J. has come in and done a nice job in both of those games in the second half.

We certainly feel both those players are capable. Sometimes when you play corner I think it's very important that you play with confidence and do the things you need to do technique-wise.

It's the trademark of both guys in terms of their endurance and ability to get better as the game goes on. That's something we'd like to continue to utilize in the future if we can.

It was a heavyweight fight. A real street fight. Both teams competed their hearts out. It was about as physical a game as I've seen in a long time.

This is a great football game against a very good football team. A lot of character, a lot of heart out there today on both sides of the ball -- that's what makes it special, when you can persevere and come away with the win.

Both guys did some good things and we're going to continue to try to feature both those players.

There are no comparisons that need to be made. Both guys are outstanding players.

I think the evaluation is he played behind two really good players that were both drafted, and to find out if he has the right stuff to be a consistent performer.

I've worked with Kirby and Bo and know the qualities they possess. They both have coached at successful major college programs, allowing them to make a smooth transition to the NFL. They are excellent teachers and will be positive additions to our staff.

We were very effective using both of those guys. I think we're learning and growing on how we do that.
