FAYETTEVILLE — On Alabama’s first offensive play of the fourth quarter last Saturday, Crimson Tide backup quarterback Jalen Milroe tested Arkansas’ Dwight McGlothern on a deep ball.
Attempting to hit receiver Jermaine Burton for a momentum-changing play, Milroe threw the ball 50-plus yards downfield to the Razorbacks’ 25. With a sweeping right arm, Arkansas’ top cornerback broke up the pass.
The Razorbacks’ re-energized home crowd roared.
But for McGlothern, a player who teammates and coaches have relayed numerous times plays with great swagger, his fun had only just begun.
After the pass fell incomplete, McGlothern skipped around Burton as the receiver rose to his feet.
