The Tide did not blink as\u00a0Jalen Milroe found Ryan Williams\u00a0for the biggest play of the season thus far.<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s obviously tons to break down from the victory, the biggest takeaway is the step that Jalen Milroe has taken under Kalen DeBoer. Just three weeks ago,\u00a0we remarked\u00a0how Milroe seems to have the same issues he has always had including holding onto the ball too long and not being decisive enough.<\/p>\n<p>Milroe was the opposite of indecisive on Saturday night, not taking a single sack against the vaunted Bulldogs front, making quick decisions and more importantly making the right play:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Jalen Milroe\u2019s explosiveness and elusiveness are such a cheat code in Kalen DeBoer\u2019s offense.

DeBoer is maximizing Milroe\u2019s abilities and making him as dangerous as he\u2019s ever been.<\/p>\n<p>Milroe improved over the course of the season last year as the offense found its footing, but ultimately was still a flawed quarterback. At that time, the offense had a ceiling of what it could be. This game felt different.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night in Bryant-Denny was the best game Jalen Milroe has played as Alabama\u2019s quarterback. With nearly 500 total yards himself and four total touchdowns to bring himself to the forefront of the Heisman trophy conversation, he was flat-out unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly continuing to improve every week and excelling within DeBoer\u2019s system, the sky could only be the limit for just how good Milroe, and the Alabama offense, can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>(Photo by Ken Murray\/Icon Sportswire) The Alabama Crimson Tide\u00a0claimed a 41-34 victory\u00a0over the Georgia Bulldogs in a game that was billed as the biggest of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/tide-takes-jalen-milroe-has-taken-the-next-step-under-deboer\/\" title=\"Tide Takes: Jalen Milroe Has Taken the Next Step Under DeBoer\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4874,"featured_media":1063344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,91,147],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1100548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-crimson-tide-bama-tide","8":"category-alabama","9":"category-featured-news"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/del231007070_bama_vs_aggies.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4874"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1100548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1100549,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1100548\/revisions\/1100549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1100548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1100548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1100548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
