Saban mentioned last night that he challenged the player who will start the season opener at QB to play well enough for some others to get game reps at the position. It was assumed that Jalen Milroe was that man, and Chris Low has now confirmed it.
Jalen Milroe will start at QB for @AlabamaFTBL in Saturday’s opener against Middle Tennessee State, sources tell ESPN. Milroe has taken most of the first-team reps this preseason while competing with Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner and freshmen Ty Simpson and Dylan Lonergan.
