Georgia has a lot of star players to deal with in their matchup against Alabama (airing tomorrow on ABC at 7:30 PM ET). The biggest star player UGA has to worry about is Jalen Milroe, the dual-threat quarterback leading the Crimson Tide’s offense. College GameDay and the rest of college football fans will watch as his skills will test the loaded Georgia defense.

Milroe emerged as the starter at Alabama following the departure of Bryce Young before the 2023 NFL Draft, and his rookie season was excellent. He threw for 2,834 yards on 284 attempts, 23 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 177.5 passer rating, leading the Crimson Tide to a 27-24 victory over the Bulldogs in the SEC Championship and a playoff berth, where they played national champion Michigan. Wolverines close before losing 27-20.

So far this season, Milroe has 590 passing yards, eight touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 213.4 this year, although Alabama has not played an SEC team thus far.

Of course, Georgia will also have to compete with Milroe’s legs and arm. Milroe has 1,007 rushing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns in his career, showing his ability as a dual-threat quarterback. His legs put a lot of pressure on the defense, making them perhaps his best weapon

That’s not to say Milroe doesn’t have a weakness in his game: he has a knack for chasing the deep ball (he had 34 20+ air throws last year), and a desire to run, which forces him to take a ton. of bags. Last year + this year he recorded 49 sacks, giving him an absurdly high sack percentage of 14.5.

Despite his mobility, he’s also not a quarterback who can sneak effectively. His attempt to hit the home run on most of his running plays can lead to negative plays, such as sacks.

In that case, Georgia will have to make sure it wins against Alabama’s offensive linemen to take advantage of this. It’s easier said than done, especially if Mykel Williams can’t play. It will be a tough task for Georgia to claim victory over Alabama, but no. 4 under center for the Crimson Tide will make things even tougher.
