We now have insight into Alabama’s backup quarterback situation.
Despite earning a 48-14 victory over Mercer at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the Crimson Tide’s offense struggled to establish consistency against the Bears’ defense. Alabama totaled one offensive touchdown in the first quarter, which came on Brian Robinson’s 4-yard run. Bryce Young was the quarterback until the third quarter, and then the Tide brought in Paul Tyson.
He received one series, completing one of three passes. After hitting freshman wide receiver JoJo Earle for 39 yards, a Trey Sanders fumbled ended the drive. Jalen Milroe took the field in the fourth quarter but attempted only one pass.
