Alabama appears to be making a change at quarterback. Sophomore Tyler Buchner is expected to start over Jalen Milroe when the 10th-ranked Crimson Tide play at South Florida on Saturday, sources told ESPN's Chris Low.
Buchner, who transferred from Notre Dame in the spring, took the majority of first-team reps in practice this week, sources said.
Milroe started the Crimson Tide's first two games, but threw two interceptions in Alabama's 34-24 loss to Texas last week. Buchner played under Alabama offensive coordinator Tommy Rees last season when both were at Notre Dame.
He played in mop-up duty during Alabama's season-opening 56-7 win over Middle Tennessee, completing 3 of 5 passes for 27 yards.
