TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama is once again trying to replace an NFL-bound quarterback with another who can lead the Crimson Tide to championships. Next up: Presumably Jalen Milroe, a dynamic runner with one career start, or five-star prospect Ty Simpson. They’re vying to replace 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, who appears poised to become the first Alabama passer picked No. Now, he’s the latest Tide quarterback to leave early for the NFL, where Mac Jones, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa are already starters. On Saturday, Milroe had a 35-yard touchdown run and a 36-yard touchdown pass, going 19-of-37 passing with two touchdowns while throwing a pair of interceptions.
