Although the competition for Alabama’s starting spot is all wrapped up as Bryce Young will be leading the offense this season, head coach Nick Saban confirmed the backup spot behind him is still up for grabs.
Saban discussed the battle both redshirt sophomore Paul Tyson and freshman Jalen Milroe will be as the team heads into its game against Miami.
“I think both those guys are in competition for the position,” Saban said during the SEC coaches teleconference on Wednesday. “Paul’s done a nice job. He’s got a good understanding of the offense. He’s very bright. And Jalen (Milroe) is a young player who’s still learning the offense but a very talented guy.
