Alabama fans can catch a glimpse of the 2023 Crimson Tide’s progress during Saturday’s A-Day game in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

You’ll see quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson battle it out for QB1 with crucial reps throughout the day, as other key Tide players earn their right for playing time during the upcoming season.

While Bama finished the season with a dominant Sugar Bowl win over Kansas State, they fell short of their own expectations to compete for a national championship, watching Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs waltz into their second straight College Football Playoff win. The Tide look to rebound two seasons since their last on top of the college football world, and it all starts on Saturday.
