What we learned from Alabama’s 2023 A-Day Game

Spring football is now complete. Let’s take a look at what we learned from Alabama’s A-Day game!

With the conclusion of spring football, we have now entered the dog days of summer where there is a significant gap between now and the first action of football in the fall.

Now that A-Day is officially in the review mirror and we have had a day or two to let the dust settle and the emotions subside, it’s time to take a look at some of the things that we learned from this past Saturday’s scrimmage.

Without question, fans are still enamored with the quarterback competition between Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson, we not only will we discuss that, but we will also look at what we learned about some of the other spots on the team.

Let’s roll!

On3 Sports: Alabama starting QB vs. Texas might not be on their roster

Alabama might not start Milroe or Simpson against Texas this year.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban and his coaching staff do not appear satisfied with the quarterback room. Saban could be looking for an upgrade according to one college football analyst.

Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports wrote the following about the Crimson Tide quarterback battle.

It seems like Alabama could still have interest in adding another QB if a certain caliber of player hits the transfer portal market in the coming weeks.

That quote should give Texas fans pause after how strongly Maalik Murphy performed at quarterback in the spring game. Aside from that, it speaks to the level of uncertainty and urgency in Tuscaloosa after losing one of the school’s best ever quarterbacks in Bryce Young.

The urgency will certainly be there for the Crimson Tide’s heavyweight bout with the Longhorns in Week 2. The only question is, who will the Tide lean on to score points in new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees’ offense?

Last season, Texas felt uneasy about its quarterback room even into its fall camp position battle before righting the ship for Alabama. Nick Saban will hope to do the same in the upcoming months.

Alabama announces date of annual A-Day Spring game, will honor Wilbur Jackson and John Mitchell

Alabama has announced the date for its annual A-Day game!

The University of Alabama has officially announced the date of its annual Spring football game, better known as the “A-Day” game.

For the first time in eight years, “A-Day” will take place on Easter weekend. The last time the annual crimson vs. white scrimmage took place on the same weekend as Easter was in April of 2014.

The school’s first black scholarship athlete, Wilbur Jackson, and its first black varsity football player, John Mitchell, are both planned to be honored during the scrimmage.

Jackson played with the Crimson Tide under head coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant from 1971-1973 before being drafted ninth overall in the 1974 NFL Draft.

Mitchell also played under “Bear” Bryant in 1971 and 1972 and started in all 24 games of his college career at Alabama.

A kickoff time has yet to be set, but Roll Tide Wire will update you when a time is established.
