Social media erupts after Jalen Milroe dazzles with first TD of the season
The 2023 Alabama football season is officially underway from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
After the Alabama defense forced a quick three and out, Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide offense took the field and quickly took control of the game.
Milroe quickly connected on a pair of passes to wide receiver Isaiah Bond and Alabama was quickly in scoring position.
Then, after a bad snap from center Seth McLaughlin, Milroe picked up the loose ball and put his elite athleticism on full display with a 21-yard touchdown run to give the Crimson Tide a quick 7-0 lead over Middle Tennessee State.
Social media quickly reacted to the improbable play by the new Tide signal-caller!

Probably not
That was absolutely how they scripted the first Milroe TD to go. Absolutely according to plan.

Milroe brings something most QBs don't
That’s what Milroe brings. Athleticism. That was ridiculous. Roll Tide.

Milroe silencing some doubters
In his first drive as Alabama's starting QB this season, Jalen Milroe picked up a bad snap and turned it into a 21-yard TD run.
