Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has had quite the roller coaster ride this season. After beginning the 2023 campaign on a mediocre level and being benched, Milroe showcased drastic improvement in his performance, which eventually led to coach Saban putting his faith in the 20-year-old.
During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, McAfee talked about Milroe's incredible athletic speed and agility in the running game against LSU while possessing an accurate passing arm. Coach Saban then discussed how Milroe adapts to opposing defenses on the field using a combination of running and passing talent, depending on their play style.
"I think that what we're trying to do with Jalen and where he's really improved is having a singular focus on the next play," Saban said. "And when I consistently talk about him is focus on the next play. Next play might be the one that makes the difference in the game. So don't worry about what happened in the last play."
"We wanna take what the defense gives. So in certain cases, his running ability is going to be a factor for us and we wanna utilise that the best that we can. And in other cases, you know the skilled guys that we have and the arm talent that he has is something we can take advantage of. So it's kind of a combination of both moving forward," Saban added.
Jalen Milroe has put up impressive statistics in his debut season as the starting quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide. So far, he has recorded 1,836 passing yards and 13 TD passes. Moreover, he also rushed for 297 yards and nine touchdowns.
