Each quarterback that played for Alabama football scored a touchdown against Middle Tennessee.
, especially with the quarterbacks. Thanks to the 56-7 blowout, the Crimson Tide was able to accomplish what Saban told starter Jalen Milroe heading into Saturday night: establish a big lead and let the other QB contenders get a shot.
Three of the four candidates listed on No. 4 Alabama’s depth chart earned snaps against MTSU and they each scored. Milroe headed nine of UA’s 13 series under new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees. Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner and sophomore Ty Simpson led two drives apiece with the Tide ahead 35 points at the time of Milroe’s departure.Passing: 13-for-18, 194 yards, 3 touchdownsThe full Milroe experience was on display.
With three minutes left in the second quarter, Milroe nearly threw an interception on a poor run-pass option read, but scrambled a play later and drew a flag on the tackle. Milroe then ran down the same side of the defense for a 13-yard touchdown. Most importantly, Milroe took care of the ball, especially when he scrambled.
“He’s a threat to pull the ball on his own plays which he scored a touchdown on that,” Saban said of Milroe’s tie-breaking run. “And I thought he threw the ball effectively. So I thought he played well. There was one play early in the game where they run Sonic-build Blitz and we’re supposed to check out the play, we didn’t get a check. So there’s always things like that you can do a little bit better.
