The question of the year will remain unanswered a little longer.

Nick Saban's weekly radio show was the last time he could have revealed anything about the Alabama quarterback situation. He didn't.

"I think both guys are weapons for our team," Saban said. "Both guys are people in their own skill sets create problems for the people we play."

That would be Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa.

"So, in some ways, I don't understand why nobody else understands it may not be a bad thing to have a role for both of those guys some kind of way in the game and I think it's fair to both guys.

"They've both really earned the opportunity based on what they've done since they've been here as players. Jalen's played a lot of games that we won and Tua's come in and played very well in the biggest game that we ever had in the championship game so he deserves the right to play too."

Saban then acknowledged everyone wants to know who'll run out there first.

"And I'm not going to tell you that," he said.

A caller later in the show asked if Saban's wife Terry had an influence in the quarterback decision.

"You know, Miss Terry has an opinion on that," Saban said. "And I do ask her. And she's usually right, to be honest with you. So, I'll stop at that. I don't want anybody to think she's coaching the team or anything. But she has her influences, I will say that."
