Saturday’s A-Day spring game marked the final scrimmage of Alabama’s spring practice session. The Crimson Tide got to show off their new look under Kalen DeBoer in front of a packed house at Bryant Denny Stadium, and it delivered.
But to Jalen Milroe, it wasn’t just a glorified practice session. He took it as seriously as he did a real game – and that showed late in the second half.
Milroe expressed frustration on the sideline as A-Day wound to a close, clearly upset with how things were going. Afterward, he said it was because he wanted to get himself in a game mentality and avoid complacency, even with the low stakes of the game.
It all came down to one word.
“All it is is passion,” Milroe told ESPN’s Molly McGrath. “It’s passion. Wanting to be the best version of ourselves every single time we touch the field. The biggest thing is we don’t want to be satisfied. We all have room to grow, always have things to improve on, stuff like that.
“But the biggest thing what we want to do is stack drives. Stack drives, keep getting better, touch that sideline and regroup. That’s all the main focus is. Eat drives, be attention to detail. Stuff like that.”
