Josh Heupel took down Nick Saban and Bryce Young in Knoxville (Tenn.) as the Volunteers head coach in 2022, but now he battles Kalen DeBoer and Jalen Milroe this weekend. Milroe, a redshirt junior, is one of the best quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference. He did not have his best performance versus South Carolina, yet he has totaled 1,483 passing yards, 319 rushing yards, and 23 touchdowns to four interceptions. Heupel, a former quarterback at Oklahoma, addressed reporters in Monday’s presser about what significantly concerns him the most about Milroe.
