Jalen Milroe could not be apprehended in Death Valley on Saturday night.

Milroe was dominant on the field, leading No. 11 Alabama to a lopsided 42-13 victory over No. 15 LSU.

He finished 12 of 18 for 109 yards, but did most of his damage on the ground. Milroe ran for a career-high 185 yards on just 12 attempts, scoring four touchdowns.

Milroe now has 16 touchdowns as a running back in 2024, marking a new single-season record among Alabama quarterbacks.

The 21-year-old continued to overwhelm LSU, having previously scored four rushing touchdowns during a 2023 victory over the Crimson Tide’s SEC rival.

As a team, Alabama racked up 311 rushing yards for an average of 6.5 yards per attempt against the Tigers on Saturday.

Fans and experts were amazed by Milroe’s performance.

Jalen Milroe’s NCAA speed should be 100!

Standout freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams was targeted just three times as the Crimson Tide focused on their running attack, recording 29 yards.

It was a disappointing result for head coach Brian Kelly’s team, especially after allowing Milroe to have a similar impact compared to the 2023 loss. LSU has lost two straight games, making it extremely difficult to compete for a spot. in the college football playoffs.

Meanwhile, Alabama improved to 7-2.
