While Milroe might have said the right things in interviews after the TX loss, the rumors going around over the weekend and this morning is that he got himself permanently benched for the USF game, as punishment for his attitude and mouth after the Texas loss. Basically, Saban put him in a 7 day time out to get his head on straight. The one positive thing that did come out of the USF game is that Bama will now, hopefully, no longer waste any more practice snaps or time on or with Buchner. If Milroe puts the the ball on the ground a couple more times or throws it directly to a DB or two this Saturday, you'll see Simpson come off the bench. Bama is not good enough this year to overcome unwarranted turnovers and still win.

Knowing that Milroe cant read anything and that the o-line is slow and soft, I'm sure Kiffin is licking his chops and can't wait for gameday to get here. Watch for Kiffin to bring the pressure every passing down, while disguising coverages and baiting Milroe into making some dangerous/stupid throws. It has the potential to be ugly, if he is not adequately prepared for it. I sure wish Kiffin was back at OC instead of Rees.
