Jalen Milroe is in the middle of a whale of a game against LSU. And it’s a historic showing.
Milroe with his 4th rushing touchdown for Alabama late in the 3rd quarter became the first Alabama quarterback to have 4 rushing touchdowns in a game in school history. Overall, he has 142 yards rushing on 17 carries, including a long run of 23 yards.
Milroe on 2nd down and 5 from the LSU 11-yard line ran around right end, and then pinballed into the end zone to give the Crimson Tide a 35-28 lead with 1:01 left in the 3rd quarter. It capped a 6-play, 68-yard drive that gobbled up 2:53 off the clock.
