- With starter Bryce Young out, Jalen Milroe got his first start for Alabama at quarterback, and completed 12-of-19 passes for 111 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, while also rushing for 83 yards on 17 attempts. The quarterback situation for the Crimson Tide going into this week’s Tennessee matchup is likely similar to this past week as either Young or Milroe could start Saturday.
