Milroe finished 16-for-23 passing for 240 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also pitched in 7 carries for 33 yards.

Milroe turned heads throughout the game on Saturday, especially coming off an LSU game in which he accounted for 4 rushing touchdowns on 155 yards.
Since the beginning of October, Jalen Milroe has thrown for 10 touchdowns, 3 INT and rushed for 8 TD. That’s over 5 games.
The Alabama record for touchdowns in a game belongs to Tua Tagovailoa. He had 7 vs. Ole Miss in 2019.
After Milroe had a rough start to the season with a pair of interceptions against Texas, and he was benched against South Florida, he has played about as well as any QB in the country.
