Alabama went down to Tampa on Saturday and took care of business, scoring almost six times as many points as the South Florida Bulls.
What, that’s not the opening line you were expecting?
Oh.
Look, theories abound on the quarterback situation. More than a few folks have guessed after the game that Jalen Milroe is indeed the starter and was all along. I’ve seen all kinds of reasons that Jalen didn’t play yesterday:
- Didn’t have a good week of practice and was benched to send a message
- Backups needed work since they’ve had little and they may be needed later in the season
- Saban was tired of hearing all the crap from fans and threw the others out there to shut everyone up
It also could be that the staff wanted to get one more extended look at Tyler Buchner and Ty Simpson before making a final decision.
