Alabama QB Jalen Milroe went from benched to the spotlight after a historic night at the center of college football.
Eight days by foot, if the Google Maps app can be trusted but we’re talking more about the abstract here. This is about Jalen Milroe and his journey from the figurative exile on Florida’s west coast to, well, a conversation nobody was entertaining back on Sept. 16.
He did it with a confidence not seen amid the inconsistency of the 34-24 loss to a Longhorn team to whom Milroe was once committed. Gone were the two interceptions from that Week 2 setback and diversion that followed. That’s a lifetime from standing on the sideline of Raymond James Stadium on the third Saturday of September. There Milroe stood, helmet in hand, watching teammates Tyler Buchner and Ty Simpson share the job he held the first two weeks of the season. The trip to face a rebuilding South Florida program offered Alabama to try the next two contestants after Milroe’s uneven night against the Longhorns.
And for all the numbers Milroe posted, Nick Saban mentioned one above the others. He led Alabama to an 11-for-14 conversion rate on third downs. That 78% hit rate was the highest in any Crimson Tide game with 10-plus attempts since the 2012 Iron Bowl against the worst Auburn team in recent memory. Milroe converted five of those with runs -- two of which for touchdowns -- while three required nine-plus yards to move the sticks.
Saban said he doesn’t see the same lingering frustration that compounded one bad throw into a series of them.
