Alabama sophomore quarterback Jalen Milroe started out Saturday's game against Arkansas with a string of explosive passes, but he slowed down in a major way in the second half as the No. 11 Crimson Tide eeked out a 24-21 victory in front of their home fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Milroe finished with 238 yards and two touchdowns on 10-of-21 passing while also adding a rushing touchdown as Alabama improved to 6-1 and 4-0 in SEC play. He looked to be on his way to a memorable day when he showed off his deep-ball prowess in the first half, throwing a 79-yard bomb to Kobe Prentice for his first score and a 29-yard connection to Amari Niblack for his second.
