Everything Nick Saban, Jalen Milroe said following 27-20 loss to Michigan

Take a look at what Nick Saban and Jalen Milroe had to say following Alabama’s loss to Michigan in the Rose Bowl

Alabama’s 2023-23 season came to a disappointing end on Monday night with a 27-20 overtime loss to No. 1 Michigan in the semifinal Rose Bowl matchup of the College Football Playoff.

Alabama held the lead with around four minutes remaining in the contest but was unable to hold on to the lead and make the plays down to stretch to secure the victory.

Following the heartbreaking defeat, head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and quarterback Jalen Milroe would spend some time with the media to discuss the unfortunate loss to the Wolverines.

Below is everything Coach Saban and Milroe had to say following the overtime loss.

WATCH: Mark Ingram discusses Alabama’s decision to bench Jalen Milroe

Does Mark Ingram have a point?

Alabama will be on the road for the first time this season on Saturday afternoon when they take on the South Florida Bulls from inside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] has reportedly made an interesting decision entering the matchup with the Bulls, deciding to bench quarterback Jalen Milroe in favor of Notre Dame transfer, Tyler Buchner.

Former Alabama running back, now a college football analyst for FOX, expressed that he believes Coach Saban’s decision was a little bit of an overreaction, claiming that the Crimson Tide has more glaring issues throughout the team.

Watch as Ingram discusses Coach Saban’s decision to start Buchner in place of Milroe.

While Ingram makes the argument that is an overreaction, he also points out that Coach Saban is at practice every day and that he trusts the seven-time national championship-winning head coach to make the best decision for his team.

We’ll find out if that decision will pay off or not when the Crimson Tide takes on South Florida at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

Takeaways from Alabama’s 34-24 loss to Texas

Five takeaways from Alabama’s 34-24 loss to the Texas Longhorns

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team exited Bryant-Denny Stadium with a disappointing 34-24 loss to Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night.

It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance for the Crimson Tide where there were moments when Alabama looked solid, but there were plenty of other times that they looked lost.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe committed two costly turnovers where he threw it right to Longhorn defenders that led to points for the Texas offense.

Defensively, Alabama allowed Texas QB Quinn Ewers to scorch them for 349 passing yards and three touchdowns.

It was not the effort that Alabama fans were hoping for and there are certainly several points to takeaway from the heartbreaking early season loss.

Nick Saban updates QB competition following first scrimmage of fall camp

Nick Saban updates Alabama’s quarterback competition following the Tide’s first scrimmage of fall camp

The Alabama football team is now nine practices into fall camp and has one scrimmage under their belt as we are now less than three weeks away from the Week 1 matchup against Middle Tennessee State on Sept. 2.

Following the Crimson Tide’s scrimmage on Saturday, head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] would spend a few minutes with the local media to provide an update on his team and field questions from reporters.

Before anyone ever had the chance to ask, Saban addressed the ongoing quarterback competition in his opening statement. While he didn’t provide a detailed report on each QB, he did express what he and his staff would be looking for once they were able to watch the film from Saturday’s scrimmage.

“Look, everybody got reps today at quarterback. I’m not a stats guy so we’re not interested in what their statistics were. We are going to be interested when we watch the film in how did they execute? Did they throw the ball the right place at the right time? Were they accurate in what they did? Did they take care of the ball so that we have a chance to play winning football at that position? And that’s what we’ll be evaluating. So if you ask me a question about it, that’s the answer I’m gonna give you.”

The battle is currently between Jalen Milore, Ty Simpson, and Tyler Buchner but it appears that none of them have created any separation up to this point. There is still plenty of time and plenty of reps remaining before Alabama takes on the Blue Raiders and even if a starter hasn’t been solidified by then, we have seen a Saban-led team carry the QB battle into the season before.

I know fans are craving for an answer to the most important position on the field, but it appears they will continue to have to wait.

Alabama has top QB room in the country according to CBS Sports

Bryce Young isn’t the only talented signal-caller in Tuscaloosa.

With the return of reigning Heisman Trophy winner [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag], it should come as no surprise that Alabama would be considered to have one of the top quarterback rooms in the country heading into the 2022 season.

According to Shehan Jeyarajah of CBS Sports, the Crimson Tide stand atop the list of college teams with the best quarterback room in the nation.

Besides returning Young, Alabama has a pair of highly touted quarterback prospects who are just waiting to burst onto the scene. Redshirt freshman [autotag]Jalen Milore[/autotag] showed Alabama fans, and the rest of the country for that matter, just how much potential he truly has during Alabama’s annual A-Day game in April.

True freshman [autotag]Ty Simpson[/autotag] is a five-star prospect who will likely become a household name within the next couple of years.

Jeyarajah had this to say about the trio of quarterbacks in Tuscaloosa.

“If you bring back the Heisman-winning quarterback and former top-100 recruits, it earns you a spot on the top of this list. Bryce Young was sensational in his first season as a starter, completing 66.9% of his passes for 4,872 yards passing and 47 touchdowns. He threw for more than 300 yards 10 times, including a 369-yard performance in the College Football Playoff National Championship and 421 yards and three scores in the SEC title game. The depth behind Young is green, but Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson were among the most pursued players in the nation. If Simpson and Milroe are good enough for Nick Saban, we trust them.”

There’s no denying that Nick Saban has a wealth of talent calling the shots for his offense for many years to come.
