You could be right. I think Saban will play all angles to get an advantage (a la Bellicheck) a lost art these days. But a lot of people are now enamoured with Alex Smith. Leadership, arm, decision making are all there. Only question was ability to work from center (he did almost all shotgun in college). But he removed doubts about that during great workouts.
