Their quarterback (Jalen Milroe is) playing extremely well, been accurate with football down the field. Obviously he’s extremely dynamic with his feet as well.
“Defensively, they’re creating a bunch of negative plays, quarterback sacks and tackles for loss. And special teams are, are really good. So a huge test for us. One that we’ll be excited for and gotta get focused on our preparation here this week.”

“So it’s a big game. It’s an important game. They got a really good team and we’re trying to get our guys to play with a little more consistency, but I know what this game means to a lot of Alabama folks.”
