Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe led his team to a dominant 42-13 victory over LSU, rushing for four touchdowns and showcasing his skills throughout the game. From the outset, Milroe set the tone with a 39-yard touchdown run on the first drive of the night. Despite a field goal by LSU, Alabama continued to pile on the points, with Justice Haynes adding a one-yard touchdown and Milroe finding the end zone again before halftime, giving the Crimson Tide a 21-6 lead.
In the second half, LSU had a promising drive that reached the five-yard line, but a costly interception in the end zone by Garrett Nussmeier thwarted their chances. The Crimson Tide capitalized on the turnover, extending their lead to 28-6 with another Milroe touchdown. Milroe’s impressive performance continued in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 72-yard touchdown run that put Alabama up 35-6. The Alabama defense also held strong, keeping LSU out of the end zone until the final seconds of the game.
Milroe finished the game with 185 rushing yards on 12 carries, with 33% of his carries resulting in touchdowns.
