College Football Fans react to Jalen Milroe starting as QB for Alabama
Alabama football’s 2023 season has officially begun, and while there’s not a long-term answer to the quarterback situation yet, Jalen Milroe is the starter for Game 1 against Middle Tennessee.
The three-man quarterback race, which turned into a four-man competition, lasted throughout the offseason and featured a transfer, a true freshman and two returning quarterbacks.
For now, Milroe takes the field as the winner, and fans were quick to take to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Some fans were elated to see him become the starter while others are hesitant to praise him as such.
Here’s what the fans had to say.
What Josh wants to see
Jalen Milroe gets the start at QB for Alabama tonight. I’ll be tuned in to see how well he throws the ball. I’ve seen him be a mobile QB but never seen him be a pocket passer.
