Jalen Milroe and Alabama are putting on an absolute clinic against Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
With the Crimson Tide facing a 4th-and-1 at the Bulldogs’s 35, Milroe and the Tide understandably decided to go for it. Milroe faked the handoff, ran to the right sideline, and outran the Georgia defense as Alabama stretched their lead to 28-0.
Here’s a video of the play:

Alabama has dominated the series against Georgia in recent years, taking 7 of the last 8 meetings between the 2 programs. It’s the first time in a while that Nick Saban isn’t on the Bama sideline, but he may as well be as Kalen DeBoer and his team are making a statement in Tuscaloosa.
As for Milroe, his Heisman Trophy stock hasn’t been higher than it is right now.
Georgia, on the other hand, has been thoroughly outplayed in the 1st half despite eventually making it 28-6 later in the 2nd quarter. Kirby Smart’s halftime speech will likely be one for the ages as his Bulldogs have had no answers for the Tide offense.
