Jalen Milroe Dazzles CFB Fans as Ryan Williams, Alabama Rout Brian Kelly, LSU

Jalen Milroe couldn't be stopped in Death Valley on Saturday night.

Milroe was dominant on the ground, leading No. 11 Alabama to a lopsided 42-13 victory over No. 15 LSU.

He finished 12-of-18 for 109 yards but did most of his damage on the ground. Milroe rushed for a career-high 185 yards on just 12 attempts, scoring four touchdowns.

Milroe now has 16 touchdowns as a runner in 2024, representing a new single-season record among Alabama quarterbacks.

The 21-year-old continued to overwhelm LSU, as he previously scored four touchdowns on the ground during a 2023 victory over the Crimson Tide's SEC rival.

As a team, Alabama amassed 311 rush yards while averaging 6.5 yards per attempt against the Tigers on Saturday.

Fans and pundits were amazed by Milroe's performance.

Standout true freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams was targeted just three times as the Crimson Tide focused on their rushing attack, recording 29 yards.

It was a disappointing result for head coach Brian Kelly's team, especially after allowing Milroe to make a similar impact compared to the 2023 loss. LSU has now dropped two consecutive games, making it extremely difficult to compete for a College Football Playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Alabama improved to 7-2.
