He has turned the corner to become a complete quarterback, but Jalen Milroe had a mistake against Vanderbilt last week he would love to have back.

His second interception of the season was one of several plays that assisted Vandy to a 40-35 upset victory.

Milroe wanted to go to freshman receiver Ryan Williams on a route in zone coverage.

The Commodores defender broke on the pass, tipped the ball in the air, and one of his teammates caught it for an interception. Vanderbilt would return the takeaway for a touchdown, pushing its lead to 13-0 in the first quarter.
