Alabama's spring game on Saturday was televised on ESPN, and those watching got to hear Nick Saban's unfiltered thoughts on quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Saban's comments came after Hurts dropped back to pass, only to scramble for a 26-yard gain. After his run, Saban could be heard criticizing the QB.

“Without me saying it," he began to say before other audio cut him off. "...two years. I mean the third team quarterback can move the team right down the field throwing the ball."

The third team QB Saban is referring to is Mac Jones, who had an impressive performance at Alabama's spring game. At halftime, Jones was 12-for-21 for 179 yards with 1 TD, 1 INT. Hurts went 6-for-14 for 32 yards with 0 TDs, 0 INTs.

Saban's comments are worthy of attention due to the QB battle between Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa. Currently, Tagovailoa is sitting with an injury, so this spring game was a real opportunity for Hurts to prove himself.

Instead, it sounds like Saban isn't impressed much by Hurts' development during his time with the Tide.
