Alabama football has experienced plenty of change since the start of 2024. But there was something familiar to start the Kalen DeBoer era.

Jalen Milroe scoring a touchdown.

The returning starter at quarterback gave the Crimson Tide their first score of the 2024 season when he scampered from 12 yards out. That score put Alabama up 7-0 with 10:10 left in the first quarter.

Milroe’s touchdown was made possible by an interception from Keon Sabb on the second Western Kentucky drive of the game.

He also played a big role in the second score of the DeBoer era: A passing touchdown, which Milroe threw to Kendrick Law. Milroe extended the play to find Law, who scampered for 22 yards.
