How Jalen Milroe won Alabama football's quarterback competition and impressed Nick Saban in season opener.
had his helmet off and was holding it behind his back before a Crimson Tide staffer came to take it off his hands and to the bench.
“High expectations for Jalen,” wide receiver Jermaine Burton said after the game. “He’s a great dude, great leader. He practices great. He does everything he can to be a great leader to us and does just whatever he can extra.” Burton was the recipient of one of Milroe’s touchdown passes, a 48-yard bomb that hit him in stride early in the third quarter. The first went to Isaiah Bond, a 47-yarder, and Milroe’s final throw for a score was a 29-yard pass to Amari Niblack.
“That was key,” Milroe said after the game. “When we go into preparation for every week, that’s something that we talk about as a unit.” Saban has made it abundantly clear that the MTSU game isn’t the end of the quarterback battle. If Milroe struggles, starting next week in a highly anticipated battle with No. 11 Texas at Bryant-Denny Stadium, it could lead to others getting their opportunities.
