MADISON, Wis. — Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe already had established himself as one of college football’s most dynamic players while working behind an injury-riddled offensive line.
With all his blockers finally healthy Saturday, the Crimson Tide star got even more opportunities to showcase his explosiveness and his love of the sport.
Milroe threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores on the ground as No. 4 Alabama made a rare trip north and won 42-10 at Wisconsin, which lost quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to an injury on the game’s first series.
“Every time I get to touch the football field, I’m just very blessed, very passionate about the game of football,” Milroe said. “Whenever we have an opportunity to make an explosive (play), it’s all about just having fun, just falling back to why I play the game, just to have fun, have moments like that.”
Milroe completed 12 of 17 passes for 196 yards with touchdowns of 31 yards to Ryan Williams, 26 yards to Germie Bernard and 37 yards to Josh Cuevas. He also rushed for 75 yards on 14 carries, scoring on runs of 3 and 10 yards.
