Alabama is once again trying to replace an NFL-bound quarterback with another who can lead the Crimson Tide to championships.
Next up: Presumably Jalen Milroe, a dynamic runner with one career start, or five-star prospect Ty Simpson.
The current competition figures to carry over into preseason camp after the Tide wrapped up spring practice Saturday with its spring game before an announced crowd of 58,710. “As a quarterback, it’s not only just the plays that you can make — and I like both guys’ athleticism to be able to extend plays and get out of trouble and make plays with their feet,” Saban said. “At the same time, I think we’ve got to work on going through progressions and develop confidence in the passing game so that we can distribute the ball to other people who can make plays more effectively and more efficiently.
Simpson also had a 45-yard scamper, though quarterbacks were wearing black, non-contact jerseys. The redshirt freshman was 12 of 26 for 155 yards with an interception.
