Alabama quarterback race is tight heading into second scrimmage

Who blinks first between Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson in Alabama’s quarterback race?

Crimson Tide fans want an answer to this question. Both have progressed in spring practice and played well at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the first scrimmage. The second game-like practice is Saturday before the Tide has its annual A-Day game on Saturday, April 22 at 2 p.m. CT. Greg McElroy was the last Alabama signal-caller to win the starting job in spring practice.

Milroe and Simpson are very talented, but the race is tight right now. Could someone separate in scrimmage No. 2?

I discuss the chances of it happening during Wednesday’s airing of In My Own Words for Touchdown Alabama Magazine.
