Nick Saban is going back to Jalen Milroe as Alabama’s starting quarterback, he announced on Monday at his press conference.

Alabama benched Milroe last week for Tyler Buchner, the Notre Dame transfer, and then Ty Simpson, who replaced Buchner late in the first half in the sluggish win at South Florida.

“This is all I’m going to say about this. Jalen really showed the leadership that I was looking for during the game in terms of supporting his teammates and doing the things he needed to do,” Saban said, as Milroe was noticed encouraging teammates after big plays. “He’s had the opportunity to play, so have the other guys. Jalen played the best of all those guys. So I think he’s earned the opportunity to be the quarterback.”

Milroe threw for 2 touchdowns in Alabama’s loss to Texas, but was also intercepted twice.
