Nick Saban knows his QB1 better than most and shared what fans need to know about Jalen Milroe.

The Alabama head coach spoke at his Hey Coach & The Nick Saban Show Friday ahead of the Tennessee game.

Saban listed off several qualities about Milroe that stand out. He mentioned that the quarterback is a hard worker, perfectionist, and well-liked by his teammates among other things.

“Everybody needs to know that Jalen is a really hard worker, he’s got a lot of pride in performance in terms of how he wants to do things,” said Saban. “He’s a perfectionist in terms of the way he approaches playing the game. Hard worker, well-liked by his teammates. His poise and confidence has increased with every game that he’s played. I think that comes with experience.”

Milroe is in his first season as starting QB with 1,397 yards passing and 16 total touchdowns. He has learned a lot through seven games played.

Milroe will now be playing in his first Third Saturday in October matchup as the starter. Fans have been thinking about avenging last season’s loss since that game ended.

The Alabama faithful will be hoping that Milroe can beat Tennessee in front of a home crowd in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
