Jalen Milroe’s favorite memory of Nick Saban might be one of the funniest you have heard.

Mostly because it is typical Saban.

In an interview with “Bussin with the Boys,” the Alabama quarterback shared – in great detail – a memorable practice that ended with a patented Milroe move and blowup by the now 72-year-old former coach.

As was common in Alabama practices, the reserves were running plays against each other. Milroe, at the time, was a backup. During these end-of-practice periods, he said, things tend to get competitive.

He dropped back for a pass play. He explained the defense was in a Cover 7.

“They got the perfect call for our pass concept down the field,” Milroe explained. “Nothing’s open. Got a nice pass rush from the defensive end. I reverse. I make a good move on him. He falls down. I’m talking like I dropped him, dog. Like it was a good move. Spinned out of it. Took off.”

He speculates had there been a clock on his run, he would have been timed at about a 4.2.

The defense can’t hit the quarterback, but Milroe flew down the field and ran to the other end zone untouched. The sideline is celebrating the big play.

“I get back (to the sideline), and I see this short man, red as can be,” he said. “Coach Saban always wears a hat at practice. I ain’t seen his hat, dog. I see his hair. Man, he ran down there, cussed me clean out. ‘The ball security, 4. The ball security.’ I said, ‘Coach, I just scored.’ I ain’t going to say what he said. … ‘I don’t give a (expletive).’

“I said, ‘Wow, Roll Tide.’”

Milroe admits he was loose with the football, and, looking back as a mature player, understood the importance of the moment. The message was received: Ball security is of the utmost importance.

“We scored,” Milroe said. “It was an explosive play. He didn’t care about none of that.”
