No Nick Saban? No problem for Jalen Milroe as he looks to get his campaign started with a productive day through the air vs. Western Kentucky. Luckily for him, he's got a favorable matchup and a new coach who loves dialing up pass plays.
And while the departure of Saban meant some players leaving through the transfer portal or recruits decommitting, this is still Alabama, and the cupboards are still stocked with loads of talent.. The junior signal caller looked to be primarily a running quarterback when he first saw action with the Crimson Tide, but when he took over the starting job last year he quickly developed into one of the more efficient passers in the country, with a cannon of an arm to boot.

Even if Bama doesn’t jump into the Top 10 in pass-play percentage, there is still going to be an increase in pass-game production. For what it’s worth, Finley completed just 58% of his passes before having a solid year for Texas State last season. So, let's add the Under.
