Milroe, who started in Alabama’s opening season win over Middle Tennessee as well as in the 34-24 Week 2 loss to Texas, was benched in favor of a two quarterback outing for the Tide on the road against USF.
Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner and freshman Ty Simpson struggled in the 17-3 win for Alabama over the Bulls, which sparked a media frenzy aimed towards the football program and Coach Saban about who would lead the team going forward after two straight weeks of struggles from the position.
“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 that he needed to do,” Saban said. “He’s had the opportunity to play. So has the other guys. Jalen played the best of all those guys. So I think he’s earned the opportunity to be the quarterback.
The Milroe-led Tide offensive will look to get back rolling against the undefeated Rebels, who’s offense ranks in the top 4 of every major statistical offensive category in the SEC, including a conference-leading 158 points scored and 52.7 points per game.
