affirming Van Dyke's commitment to the program. When the music stopped and the portal quit spinning, it was Buchner, who would have been Hartman's backup, that became the best option remaining. And even then, Buchner was brought in not with the expectation that he'd be a slam-dunk starter but rather as someone who could compete and push Milroe and Simpson.
A Power 5 defensive coordinator said Milroe was essentially the same player he watched on film from a year ago:"Big play or nothing." But in Milroe's defense, he's had to deal with a not insignificant amount of turnover during his time at Alabama.
