PREGAME<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Nick Saban to CTSN on Jalen Milroe before today\u2019s opener: \u201cJalen\u2019s played well. I think all the quarterbacks have made significant progress and improvement. But Jalen has been the most consistent in the scrimmages and in practice.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014 Jihaad Campbell (knee) is off to the side watching ILB drills during pregame warmups. On Thursday, Nick Saban said he was doubtful. It looks like Deontae Lawson and Trezman Marshall will start at ILB.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Well, Jihaad Campbell has gone through drills since I posted this. But he does not have his cleats spatted and isn\u2019t wearing gloves.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No sign of safety DeVonta Smith (foot) or wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson during warmups. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Jalen Milroe received all the first-team reps during warmups. The first QB up with the second-team offense was Tyler Buchner. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Alabama wins the toss and elects to defer to the second half. MTSU will receive the opening kickoff.<\/p>\n
