Jalen Milroe threw for three touchdowns in his first start and No. 1 Alabama made a final goal-line stand to escape with a 24-20 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday night in a battle of backup quarterbacks.
Playing without the injured Heisman Trophy winner Young, the Crimson Tide needed two late stops from Will Anderson Jr. and the defense. They got them, just barely, to survive four turnovers and two missed field goals against a team that“That was not our best football out there tonight,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “When you don't have your quarterback out there and the second-teamer has to play, everybody’s got to play better.
Milroe passed for 111 yards and ran for 183, but also threw an interception and lost two fumbles. Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 159 yards after gaining most of his 206 after Young's shoulder injury early against Arkansas.“Jalen did some good things but obviously a couple of turnovers,” Saban said. “He’s going to live and learn and we’re going to live and learn with him. We'll just see what progress Bryce makes.
Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher wasn't buying any narrative that the Aggies kept it close because Alabama was without its star quarterback and made a number of mistakes.
