Nick Saban spoke often of taking the QB cake out of the oven when it fully baked. That appeared to be the case Saturday but there's still work to be done.
Perhaps more importantly, Jalen Milroe looked like he baked that cake.
No fumbles. No interceptions. Not a single offensive penalty — not just for Milroe’s eight possessions but for all 60 minutes of football. That’s a vast improvement for a team that ranked 126th in penalties per game a year ago.More telling was the fact Milroe visited the postgame media room because that’s not where you find many QBs still fighting for their job.
It was McLaughlin who was to blame, then to thank for Milroe’s first moment of the night. The center said his hand slipped on a wet ball to create the rolling shotgun snap that Milroe gathered before weaving through the MTSU defense 21 yards for his first touchdown. Of course, that’s what he’s supposed to say even if it’s not exactly true. The most genuine moment of his time with reporters came when the Katy, Texas native was asked if he had any Longhorn fans in his family. He laughed, said yes and then acknowledged he had a Vince Young jersey as a child.
