The Alabama football program completed its second and final preseason scrimmage on Saturday so let's break down everything we've heard on the Monday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".

We start by digging into the ongoing quarterback battle and point out how its continuance may be negatively affecting other areas of the team, pass protection and pass-catching specifically.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban has won six national titles and nearly all of them have been led by quarterbacks with deficiencies in their respective games. Why do the Alabama fans and college football analysts feel the Tide can't win without dynamic quarterback play?

The Crimson Tide defense has received effuse praise throughout the offseason under new coordinator Kevin Steele. That continued on Saturday, begging the question, is the offense bad or is the defense just that talented heading into the season?

We conclude Monday's program by highlighting two Crimson Tide victories over the weekend. Alabama golfer Nick Dunlap made history by claiming the US Amateur Championship, qualifying for a spot in the US Open, The Masters and The Open Championship in the process.

Lastly the Alabama soccer team went on the road for the first time this year and defeated the UAB Blazers 1-0. The program shouts out the Sunday goal scorer and points out what's next for the Crimson Tide soccer program.
