Quarterbacks have found relative success scrambling against Georgia posting 19 rushing yards. Nick Saban’s key to yard gainage will be on the ground whether it be through Milroe’s legs or Roydell Williams, who will step up to lead-back duties in Jase McClellan’s injury stead. They have curbed opposing quarterbacks to a No.
Jalen Milroe celebrates after Alabama’s win over rival Auburn. Those completions are tough to come by against the Bulldogs’ top 10 secondary in defending against explosive passing plays. Milroe is a talented deep-ball thrower as he’s accumulated 16 touchdown passes that have tallied 20 yards or more. The Crimson Tide have executed 6.5 of these explosive plays per game. Much of Alabama’s success has been contingent on explosive plays exceeding 20-or-more yards, which is a specialty that falls right into Georgia’s wheelhouse.
