Alabama is turning the offensive reins back over to Jalen Milroe, but the messy QB situation has been only part of the problem.
Milroe cheered them on instead of sulking on the sideline. Now, the position has come full circle.
"From a quarterback standpoint — this is all I’m going to say about this — you know, Jalen really showed the leadership that I was looking for during the game in terms of supporting his teammates and doing the things he needed to do," Saban said Monday."He’s had the opportunity to play. So have the other guys. Jalen played the best of all those guys, so I think he’s earned the opportunity to be the quarterback.
Buchner completed less than half of his passes for 61 yards. Simpson passed for 78 yards but did lead both touchdown drives. And Milroe watched. He was benched after throwing two interceptions in the Texas game but is the most dangerous runner among them and has also been more productive in the passing game.
The past two games made it clear there’s considerable room for improvement all over the offense. The South Florida game marked the first time Alabama has failed to score at least 20 points against a non-Power 5 conference opponent since 2007.
