Jalen Milroe Leads Alabama to College Football Playoff Semifinals

After overcoming a mid-season benching and criticism from a former coach, Milroe has emerged as a key player for Alabama.

Jalen Milroe, Alabama's quarterback, was benched in Week 3 following a loss to Texas but earned the starting role back the following week.
Milroe's game-winning touchdown in the Iron Bowl against Auburn changed Alabama's fortunes, putting them in the College Football Playoff semifinals picture.
Milroe has passed for 2,718 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions while also rushing for 12 scores, leading Alabama to win 11 straight games.
Alabama is set to face No. 1 Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal on New Year's Day.
Despite being told by former offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien that he shouldn't play quarterback, Milroe has excelled in the position and plans to return for the 2024 season.
