Alabama's quarterback situation is in disarray three games into the 2023 season. Jalen Milroe was benched for the Crimson Tide's matchup with South Florida in favor of Tyler Buckner. Then Buckner was sidelined for Ty Simpson in a rough 17–3 victory in Tampa.
Former Alabama star Mark Ingram believes coach Nick Saban made the team's quarterback issue worse by benching Milroe in the first place.
“I think this is an overreaction,” said Ingram during Fox's Big Noon Kickoff. "There was a lot more glaring issues than just the quarterback play. They dropped [Milroe] back 39 times."
