Jalen Milroe<\/a><\/strong> was impressive on Saturday against Middle Tennessee State<\/a><\/strong>, finding guys downfield in the pass game. Three touchdowns helped him make Alabama<\/a><\/strong> history too, coming in just his second-ever career start. However, there was somebody missing out there from the wide receiver room during the first half.<\/p>\n

Ja\u2019Corey Brooks<\/a><\/strong> did not play in the first two quarters, with head coach Nick Saban<\/a><\/strong> confirming so during his postgame press conference. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was sitting out the first half,\u201d Saban said.<\/p>\n

Saban was about to expand on why Brooks was not present before stopping himself. He told the present media he understands they have a job. But he was not going to give a specific reason to why Brooks missed the first half. All we know is he did, in fact, not play early against Middle Tennessee State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you guys have a job to do and you know how much I love you and want to help you do your job,\u201d Saban said. \u201cBut I\u2019m not going to reveal to you what a guy did or didn\u2019t do to put himself in a position where he sat out in the first half. But he sat out the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks finished three yards behind last season\u2019s leading receiver for Alabama, Jermaine Burton<\/a><\/strong>. He did have the most receiving touchdowns though, hauling in eight from Bryce Young<\/a><\/strong>. In what has been an up-and-down career at Alabama, this is another hiccup for Brooks.<\/p>\n
