The Alabama Crimson Tide came away from one of the tougher environments in college football with a dominating 42-10 victory on the road at Wisconsin over the weekend, and their quarterback was a large reason why.
In the win, Jalen Milroe finished completing 12 of his 17 passes for 196 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions along with 75 more yards and two more scores on the ground.
For his efforts, Milroe was named by the SEC as the Offensive Player of the Week:

The argument could be made that it was the best game of Milroe’s playing career thus far at Alabama. In addition to the five total touchdowns and not turning the ball over, he looked more decisive and quicker in his decision making, only being sacked twice.
With a bye week this week before facing off against Georgia the following week at home, it’s another opportunity for Milroe to continue to get better and more comfortable in Kalen DeBoer’s system, as only his best will be good enough to take down the Bulldogs.
