Confidence is the most important trait of a football player, regardless of position, but especially at quarterback.
Jalen Milroe, a redshirt junior, has sounded confident in interviews, but the Alabama starting quarterback has not played confidently since the Crimson Tide’s meeting against Georgia. He looked okay versus Vanderbilt, but struggled in meetings with South Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri. Missouri was the first matchup all season where the native Texan did not record a touchdown pass. No one can place what truly has happened with Milroe, but we all know he looks off from where he was.
The best medicine for this is a bounce back performance against a marquee team on a big stage.
