Is Jalen Milroe's health the Achilles' heel in Alabama's quest for redemption?

It’s a do-or-die game for Kalen DeBoer and Alabama Crimson Tide; after all the hate the team is getting for last week’s loss against Tennessee, this is their only chance to regain their championship title. However, with recent events unfolding, there are concerns surrounding Bama’s star quarterback Jalen Milroe because of a possible injury. Let’s see what the fuss is all about.

Today, during the game, Austin Randolph took to X to share the concern the team might face with Jalen Milroe’s possible injury, saying, “Pretty much every throw is a screen. Should tell you all you need to know about Milroe’s health.” But it looks like that’s not the case; the guy scored a remarkable rushing touchdown against the Missouri Tigers at the start of the second quarter; clearly, his injury is not an issue of concern for the team.

Addressing the whole injury notion raging around Jalen Milroe after Bama’s loss against the Vols last week, Kalen DeBoer said, “He’s more than capable. And as he goes through the week, you‘re just ready to play on Saturday. There‘s nothing that’s going to be holding him back from going out there and being able to help us get a win. I’m confident of that.” Jalen Milroe is a key asset for the team, and losing him is not an easy thing. However, there were even major concerns after his poor gameplay against Tennessee last week. Let’s see what’s that.

Have an interesting take?

However, Kalen DeBoer has unshaken faith in his gameplay, and time and again he has supported him, saying, “He is a phenomenal athlete-player person. Just really do what he does best. Understand what makes him different than other quarterbacks.” Well even though Milroe has some issues, we can’t forget what he did for Bama. Not only has he completed 41 out of 68 passes in his last two games, but he has also thrown for 448 yards, giving a lot of edge to his team. Let’s see if this time he can repeat the same thing with the Missouri Tigers or not.
