The Alabama quarterback accounted for four total touchdowns and 491 yards, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter to once again beat the Bulldogs.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— There's still a lot of season left to be played and talented players all across the country, but Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe delivered a Heisman-worthy performance over performance to lead the Crimson Tide to an upset victory over No. 2 Georgia, 41-34.
One of the things DeBoer was most pleased with that jumped out on the stat sheet after the game was Milroe's completion percentage at 82 percent. The Alabama quarterback was 27 for 33, which was by far his most attempts on the season, yet he finished with the second-highest completion percentage of any start in his career.
"He ran around us," Smart said after the game. "We had our best player on him on fourth-and-1, and he outran him to the sideline, and then turned up and scored. He ran outside of a blitz defense that we got more people than they can block in there, and they ran up what we call a moon sweep outside. He's a really good football player. He's a really good football player. So if you could just stop him and not worry about him throwing, I think you could do it.
