In the Crimson Tide's spring game over the weekend, Greg McElroy staked his case to be Alabama's starting quarterback next season with flashes of brilliance.
McElroy rode the pine last season in backing up John Parker Wilson. Saturday against the white team, the signal caller threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns while making 16 of 30 passes for the crimson team.
His heroics earned him a share of the MVP award. He also gained the nod of confidence from coach Nick Saban, who later said that McElroy is the team's best quarterback at present.
He found Julio Jones from 50 yards out for one of his scores. Later on, McElroy lofted a 10-yard pass to Mike McCoy.
Star Jackson struggled to a 4-for-13 game with two interceptions while fellow quarterback candidate Thomas Darrah went 8-of-22 for 113 yards.
Aside from McElroy, wide receiver Marquis Maze also earned the MVP honors after finishing with 87 yards on five catches. More than 84,000 fans came to the Bryant-Denny Stadium to watch the spring game.
