Take it for what it’s worth, a reliable source told me that Milroe was suspended after he threw a fit after he was informed he was not going to start against USF. As result his OL who backed him didn’t give much effort.

He put Randall back in after those throws. Not after the game, after that series. Milton never saw the field last Saturday outside of the sideline

No, he wasn't suspended he was likely benched, but that isn't a suspension. One comes from shitty on field performance, the other stems from shitty off field performance.


Thank you, but I understand the difference. This isn’t me being an LSU fan and hating on Bama or Saban, trying to expose some secret dirty laundry. I’m just trying to figure out how he’ll likely use his QBs going forward. If he was suspended, I think he’ll probably start the rest of the way no matter what. He may anyway, though.

What’d you do?

We can piece together the facts and Saban’s previous actions throughout his career to give a decent answer. First, the South Florida game was 3-3 late in the 3rd quarter. Even if Alabama was playing against air, Saban would’ve played QB 1 in that situation if QB 1 was available. The conspiracy theories about teaching fans or the media a lesson are insane.

So either Milroe didn’t become QB 1 until after last Saturday’s game, meaning that the other two guys actually played themselves out of the competition, or he was benched/suspended. Saban said on Saturday after the game that Milroe’s absence was due to “an internal thing,” so I’m leaning toward the second option.

No. Milroe traveled with the team, was dressed in uniform for the game, was warming up for the game, and even at one point had his helmet on his head.
The only player that I have seen completely dressed out for a game he had been suspended from was Crab Legs.
