Jalen Milroe connects with Kobe Prentice for long TD to put Alabama ahead over Arkansas

Jalen Milroe showed off his deep ball ability as Alabama has taken a 7-6 lead over Arkansas.
Alabama had trailed 6-0 after a pair of Arkansas field goals, and had the ball at their own 21 on a 3rd-and-15 as it was in danger for punting for the 3rd straight time.
That’s when Milroe — and Kobe Prentice — took things into their own hands just before the quarter ended. Milroe launched it over the middle of a field to a wide-open Prentice, who went into the end zone untouched for a 79-yarder. Take a look at the play below on what was the 1st touchdown catch of the season for Prentice:

Alabama entered the game having won the last 15 against Arkansas. Despite a slow start to this one, it will hope that Milroe’s long connection with Prentice can wake them up and spur it to a home victory.
