While the final score of Saturday night's season opener against Western Kentucky indicated that the miscue had no impact, the Alabama Crimson Tide was no stranger to botched snaps throughout last season.
It's okay, you don't have to admit that you got scared during Alabama's botched snap in the 63-0 season-opening victory over Western Kentucky on Saturday night.
However, quarterback Jalen Milroe, who lost the fumble, assured after the game that this was just a simple mistake as the combination of excitement and nerves took over due to the season opener setting. The flow of emotions is easy to understand for Milroe, as Saturday's season opener was far more different than any other first Crimson Tide football game in recent memory, and that's due to legendary head coach Nick Saban not being on the sideline with a headset on. The 72-year-old retired on Jan. 10, and Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer was hired as his successor, meaning more eyes were on this game than a typical matchup between an SEC team and a Group of Five team.
