In the midst of the preparations for its season opener against Middle Tennessee, Alabama football conducted its second and final scrimmage of the fall camp on Saturday. Despite the high stakes, the QB situation showed limited signs of upheaval.

A source revealed Jalen Milroe continues to hold his position at the forefront of the QB competition. During the scrimmage, he led the first-team offense during the opening series. Ty Simpson followed suit with the second opportunity. Milroe managed to execute several impressive plays, including an amazing pass to Malik Benson.

Based on the reports, Simpson had to settle for the position behind Milroe in performance. With two weeks left, Milroe's lead makes him the strongest contender for the job.
