After Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama’s shocking loss to the Vols (24–17), Jalen Milroe has been under fire. The team’s quarterback 1, who finished with just 55.6% of his throws, was referred to as a “rotten apple” by some, who said, “What?” Our player was even nominated for the Campbell Award yesterday, and, of course, his Heisman prospect! However, this season has been a complete disaster for Milroe, and after the loss to Oklahoma, things got even worse, and CFB insiders began to speculate about his final game for Alabama.
Kalen DeBoer appears to have exerted pressure on dismissing Jalen Milroe. Milroe is an exceptional player, and his achievement under Saban is unquestionably evidence of that. However, under DeBoer, he is unable to meet the standards. The cause could be anything. Before you focus on that, find out why CFB experts believe that Milroe’s final game may be Alabama’s Iron Bowl. A CFB insider explained on November 30 on The Next Round show, stating “I think if you did a poll of actual Alabama fans and gave them the option one more ride with Milroe or say thank you Jaylen for what you’ve done we’d like to see Ty Simpson now. I think the majority of fans would vote to thank you, Jaylen, for what you’ve done. We’d like to see Ty Simpson now and I don’t think it’s like anything horrible against Milroe. I just think they know that’ll be the future.”
Milroe’s last game may have been because he moved to the NFL or another school, but it appears that he will play for Alabama again for the Iron Bowl. However, due to his performance throughout the season for Alabama, the college football playoffs are not reached. In addition, according to a CFB insider, Milroe’s style of play could not blend well with Kalen DeBoer’s coaching. According to the insider, “Jaylen Milroe is the kind of quarterback style-wise that Kalen DeBoer is comfortable and or likes running his style of offense. It seems like it has been a struggle. Doesn’t it? It seems like it has been difficult and working that skill set into.”

On top of that, the bond between Kalen and Milroe in the present scenario was explained by another insider, who said, “I don’t know that it is Kalen DeBoer like if he could just pick a quarterback off the shelf if the style I’m not saying specifically Jalen Milroe but the style of Jalen Milreo is the one he’d pick off the shelf if he were grocery shopping.“

With Tide’s season on the line, there is still uncertainty around the unexpected turn of events. This Iron Bowl game is crucial since the program’s hopes of making the playoffs appear to be in jeopardy. Check out the predictions made by experts for this bowl game.
Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama season-ending game’s prediction
Alabama and Auburn, both teams have plenty to strive for on Saturday, making this year’s Iron Bowl crucial. Auburn must defeat the Tide to advance to the bowl game, while Alabama can maintain their low hopes of qualifying for the College Football Playoffs. Steve predicts that Auburn Tigers will lose to Alabama Crimson Tide 28. It seems foolish to choose a winner in this game, especially after the Tide’s performance against a 5-loss Sooners squad last week.

Jalen Milroe and his teammates, in Steve’s opinion, are more ready for this game and ready to move on from last week. Auburn isn’t as bad as their 5-6 record might suggest, though. They demonstrated that against Texas A&M last week. If they had received some breaks, this team may have easily finished 8-3 as well. Now, Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama has only one advantage, that this is a home game. However, the host team does not always win home games. Therefore, you must watch the game to find out who won.
