"Watching his favorite QB warm up": Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban drops heartwarming video of son admiring Jalen Milroe before the game 

Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban was at the Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday when Alabama hosted Mercer. It was the Crimson Tide's last non-conference game of the 2024 college football season and they blew out the Bears 52-7 in an expected lopsided clash.

Kristen Saban wasn't alone at the Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. The daughter of the former Alabama coach attended the game with his son James, who had a nice time watching the encounter. The toddler graced the sideline before the commencement of the game.

Saban shared a video of James on the sideline ahead of the contest on her Instagram story. Nick Saban's grandson was admiring his favorite player on the Alabama roster, quarterback Jalen Milroe. Her mother captioned the heartwarming post with:

"Watching his favorite QB warm up @millticketfour,” Kristen wrote.

Kristen Saban also has admiration for Jalen Milroe

Not only does James admire Jalen Milroe in his family, but her mother Kristen is also a fan of the quarterback. Milroe took on Alabama's starting role in 2023 and had a rocky start in the Crimson Tide’s offense. However, Kristen was one of those who continued to believe in him.

She is also a fan of Milroe as a person. During the 2024 NFL Draft in April, Milroe gave a shout-out to his old Bama coach, saying:

"Hey, coach! How you doing?"

Kristen found the clip of Milroe's shout-out to her dad hilarious. She reposted it to her Instagram stories and added the comment:

"I love yall @milticketfour"

How did Jalen Miloe perform against Mercer?

Jalen Milroe was fantastic in the time he spent on the field on Saturday. Alabama had four quarterbacks share reps against Mercer, giving Milroe's backup sometimes on the field.

Milroe completed 11-of-16 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns to help Alabama earn the win on Saturday. The quarterback also led the Crimson Tide in rushing with 43 yards and one touchdown in six carries.

Kristen and her son, James likely had a good time watching their favorite quarterback dazzle on the field against the Bears on Saturday.
