Alabama Football Makes Jalen Milroe Announcement Ahead of Week 14
The Alabama Crimson Tide is looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 13. The 24-3 upset has significantly impacted their College Football Playoff hopes. As they head into Week 14, they face their arch-rivals, the Auburn Tigers, in the highly anticipated Iron Bowl.
Coach Kalen DeBoer’s team is eager to close out the season on a positive note and keep their playoff aspirations alive, albeit faint. To achieve this, they will need assistance from other teams.
Ahead of this weekend’s clash, quarterback Jalen Milroe has received well-deserved recognition. He has been named a finalist for the prestigious Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, which honors the nation’s top offensive player in college football. The award is named after the legendary Earl Campbell, a Texas Longhorns icon.
Milroe’s impressive statistics this season have earned him a spot among the nation’s top quarterbacks. He has accumulated 2,396 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, 615 rushing yards, and an impressive 17 rushing touchdowns. His exceptional ability to use his legs has made him nearly unstoppable.
However, in Alabama’s three losses, Milroe’s rushing yards have been limited to fewer than 40. When forced to rely solely on his passing, he has been less effective, and the team has suffered the consequences.
Milroe’s remarkable career at Alabama has positioned him as one of the top quarterbacks expected to be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft this April. As the Crimson Tide prepares to face Auburn, they will rely on Milroe’s exceptional skills to lead them to victory and keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Iron Bowl is always a highly intense and competitive matchup, and this year’s edition promises to be just as thrilling. With Milroe at the helm, Alabama is poised to put on a show and make a strong case for their place in the College Football Playoff.
