Challenges for Ole Miss

Alabama’s having a quarterback contraversy. Jalen Milroe was the starter for the Middle Tennessee and Texas games. After the loss to the Longhorns the Tide went with Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner. Who will start versus Ole Miss? My guess is they’ll go back to Jalen Milroe who had solid stats against Texas but threw a costly interception that many felt caused the Crimson Tide to lose the game. Update, Jalen Milroe is listed as the starting quarterback the game with Ole Miss.
