Bryce Young

The Crimson Tide is extremely fortunate to have Young at the helm, especially on an evening which it mustered 44 rushing yards (sack adjusted). Without his special ability to direct traffic and find the open men down the field the outcome could have turned out a lot different on this homecoming weekend.

The Alabama Crimson Tide (7-1, 4-1) took care of business on Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium by beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-3, 2-3) by a pedestrian score of 30-6. The Tide was dominant defensively throughout the evening, keeping the Bulldogs off the scoreboard until the game's final play.

Do you agree with my assessment of Milore's play? What plays was I too harsh on? What plays did I give too much grace on?

The Milroe experience was quite the roller coaster for Crimson Tide fans to experience on Saturday night as he showed supreme athleticism and talent on the evening coupled with a handful of crippling mistakes that hamstrung the Tide from running away from the game.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban called Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, "day-to-day" all week and it appears he will be held out as the Tide tries to avenge its 2021 loss in College Station.

The Crimson Tide are now playing backup quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe did lead Alabama into the endzone on his first drive to make the score 21-0 but all eyes will be on the Crimson Tide sideline and the health of the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.

Alabama took down Vanderbilt 55-3 in Bryant-Denny Stadium to open SEC play on Saturday night.

Alabama is out to a 28-3 lead at the half as Bryce Young has thrown for over 300 first half yards.

Alabama returns home to Bryant-Denny Stadium next Saturday to play Louisiana-Monroe on Sep. 17 at 3 p.m. CT.
