A month after Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe’s Heisman Trophy hopes took a big hit, Saturday’s dominating performance helped gain back ground in a big way.

Milroe dominated the No. 15 LSU Tigers (6–3) in a 42–13 victory for the No. 11 Crimson Tide (7–2) in Death Valley. The 6-foot-2 junior from Katy, Texas, ran all over the Tigers for 185 yards and 12 carries for four touchdowns. He averaged 15.4 yards every time he touched the ball.
