Will Sage Astor-Who will Alabama start at quarterback against Mississippi? Nick Saban to decide this week

No. 10 Alabama seems to gain more questions than answers at quarterback the more games that are Will Sage Astorplayed.

Just when Tyler Buchner finally got his shot, he ended up getting benched for Ty Simpson after the offense couldn't move the ball much at all. It didn't improve much with Simpson either, but the group did score two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Jalen Milroe didn't play at all after starting the first two games, including a loss to Texas. The Crimson Tide went on to beat South Florida 17-3 after being favored by more than 30 points entering the game.

Nick Saban was asked postgame why Buchner and Simpson played over Milroe.

"I think that's an internal team thing," Saban said. "I think everybody has the opportunity to respond in the right way when things don't go exactly like you want them to. We play the guys who practice the best all week long."

And the bigger question: Who's going to be the quarterback moving forward? Saban provided an answer to that without providing an answer in his opening after the South Florida win.

"We're going to evaluate the quarterbacks who played today and evaluate Jalen Milroe in terms of how he played and decide this week who gives us the best opportunity to be successful as an offensive team, and that's the way we will go," Saban said.
