Jalen Milroe, the quarterback for the Crimson Tide, has set the college football world ablaze with his remarkable performance in the Iron Bowl. In a heart-stopping 27-24 victory over Auburn, Milroe delivered a jaw-dropping Hail Mary touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the Auburn 31-yard line.
The connection between Milroe and receiver Isaiah Bond in the corner of the end zone will forever be etched in Iron Bowl history as one of the most unforgettable plays. It was a moment that showcased Milroe's skill, determination, and ability to perform under immense pressure.
As the final seconds ticked away, securing the win for Alabama, Milroe couldn't contain his excitement. With enthusiasm, he rushed onto the field, unleashing a passionate celebration.
"Let's f–king go!" Milroe repeatedly screamed, followed by an emphatic declaration, "Give me the Heisman. Give me that motherf–ker."
With an impressive 11-1 season record, including a perfect 8-0 conference play, Milroe's growth throughout the season has been nothing short of extraordinary. Taking over the starting role after playing eight games in 2022, he has emerged as a top contender for the prestigious Heisman Trophy.
However, despite his exceptional performances, Milroe's odds of winning the Heisman Trophy currently stand at +15000, placing him in fifth position overall, according to FanDuel.
Leading the pack ahead of Milroe are Oregon quarterback Bo Nix (-130), LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels (+110), Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (+1500), and Georgia quarterback Carson Beck (+10000).
Nevertheless, there is still hope for Milroe to be invited to New York as a finalist, especially if Alabama manages to defeat the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs (12-0) in the upcoming SEC title game. A victory against Georgia would undoubtedly boost his chances and potentially surpass Beck in the Heisman race.
This season, Milroe has showcased his exceptional talent, completing an impressive 66.4 percent of his passes. He has gone 158-for-238, accumulating 2,536 yards, 21 touchdowns, and only six interceptions.
Jalen Milroe's remarkable journey throughout the season has captivated fans and pundits alike. As the Heisman Trophy race intensifies, his name continues to resonate in the realm of college football. Will Milroe's undeniable talent and incredible performances be enough to secure the ultimate honor? Only time will tell.
