Jalen Milroe is now a veteran quarterback in the Alabama locker room.
The Crimson Tide will be riding the coattails of Milroe for another season, after he helped them to an SEC Championship before coming up just short in the Rose Bowl (a College Football Playoff semifinal) to eventual champion Michigan.
Bama has now played four consecutive seasons since winning their last national championship, but in Bama years, that is a lifetime. It is currently their longest drought since they went from 1993 to 2008 without a title.

Now, in his second season as a starter, Milroe feels much more equipped to handle the big stage - something he was more than sufficient last year.
"The biggest thing is, I want to be more prepared, more confident in game one this year than I was last year. The best thing I can have, after reflecting on last season, is separating it all into two pillars: strengths and weaknesses, and have that time to just pour it into the offseason," Milroe said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "I’m pushing every day. I’m super excited for what the future holds. The goal is all about team accolades and how we can build as a group. That’s going to be the important part of the journey."
