He plays hard and he fought hard all season. That was a team loss yesterday. No, he didn’t play particularly well, but there were other problems, too. Alabama didn’t play well up front on either side of the ball, the linebackers and secondary got confused in coverage multiple times, etc. Michigan also made the plays in the most crucial moments, and they deserve all of the credit in the world for that. That’s just the way it goes sometimes. I’m sure Alabama will do everything they can to learn from it and get better.


Agree with this 100%. That loss was hardly all on Milroe, and you nailed the other deficiencies. But he can't run backward on sacks, has to protect the ball better, can't slide 3 or 4 yards short of a 1st down on 3rd down in a playoff game, and can't just run into a brick wall on the last play of the game. At least bounce it outside and try to see if that works. What he did by diving into that pile 3 yards short of the goal line was no different than taking a knee.

His slides were straight up odd : The decisions, timing and form.
