re: What made Milroe run as much as he did Saturday?

Lots of designed runs and stepping up in the pocket was clearly a point of emphasis for the bye.

Yes. Saban said in his press conference that we did put in some more designed runs, but that the key was that we have been working with Jalen to step up in the pocket more, which has given him better run or pass options as well as relieved some pressure on the tackles who can focus on pushing pass rushers out and back.
