Crimson Tide Faces Iron Bowl Challenge

11/29/2024

TLDR: In Week 13, the Alabama Crimson Tide experienced a significant upset, losing 24-3 to the unranked Oklahoma Sooners, a blow to their College Football Playoff aspirations. Now looking ahead, Alabama faces their historic nemesis, the Auburn Tigers, in the celebrated Iron Bowl. Head coach Kalen DeBoer aims to wrap up his inaugural season with a resounding victory as they attempt to cling to fading playoff dreams, with external factors still in play. Key player Jalen Milroe, Alabama’s star quarterback, recently garnered acclaim as a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, honoring top offensive talent. Milroe’s impressive statistics this year include 2,396 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, alongside 615 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns, showcasing him as an exceptional dual-threat quarterback. Yet, his performance dips when his rushing ability is contained, a factor in Alabama’s three losses. Milroe remains a promising NFL Draft prospect for 2025.


The Alabama Crimson Tide found themselves on the rough end of things in Week 13, suffering a harsh 24-3 defeat at the hands of the unranked Oklahoma Sooners. Now, this wasn’t just any minor hiccup down the road; it sent shockwaves through their College Football Playoff dreams, dampening hopes they’ve clung to all season long. With their back against the wall, Alabama looks to redeem itself in the upcoming face-off against none other than their fierce rivals, the Auburn Tigers, in the legendary Iron Bowl matchup.

The spotlight now shines on coach Kalen DeBoer as he pilots the team through his debut season, getting ready for this pivotal showdown with Auburn. A win in the Iron Bowl could possibly sprinkle some magic on their diminishing playoff chances. However, a little extra help from other football quarters would not hurt either, and they’ll surely be hoping other teams make the stars align in their favor.

A glimmer of sunshine peeked through for Alabama with their quarterback sensation Jalen Milroe making headlines ahead of the weekend’s clash. Milroe has achieved the honor of being named a finalist for the coveted Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. This recognition goes to the nation’s most distinguished offensive player in the college football landscape, a testament to Milroe’s standout performance this season.

Jalen Milroe has put up some mighty numbers, recording 2,396 passing yards along with 15 touchdowns through the air, not to mention his impressive 615 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground. His dual-threat capability on the field has made him a formidable weapon in Alabama’s arsenal, crafting him into one of the most exciting quarterbacks to watch in the nation. Still, his effectiveness has been tested when teams manage to pin him down, holding him to less than 40 rushing yards in Alabama’s defeats.

Taking a peek into the not-too-distant future, Jalen Milroe’s choice to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft has folks buzzing. As one of the top quarterback prospects, his career at Alabama has truly been a remarkable journey. Yet, for now, all eyes are firmly set on the Iron Bowl, where Alabama and Milroe aim to finish the season strong and keep their flickering playoff hopes alive.
