TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Even before the start of this season, which was anything but rousing for Alabama’s football team, some of the players came up with an idea for a T-shirt.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe was at the football complex Wednesday and was sporting the shirt, which has the acronym “LANK” displayed across the front.
“It’s something me and Terrion [Arnold] thought about in the offseason — Let All Naysayers Know — and we wanted something that would push us and motivate us, and it’s still pushing us,” said Milroe, who became the first quarterback in Alabama history last week to pass for three touchdowns and rush for three touchdowns in a 49-21 road win over Kentucky.
“Everybody knows we didn’t play to the Alabama standard those first few games, but we never quit pushing. A lot of people might have given up on us, but we never did. You look at the players on this team. Look at their faces. There’s a lot more left out there for us.”
