SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS: Jalen Milroe drops 49-yard dime to Jermaine Burton
In a tightly contested matchup between two of the powerhouse programs in college football, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milore has given the Crimson Tide a late third-quarter lead over the Texas Longhorns, 16-13.
Milroe has had an up-and-down performance through three quarters, throwing an early interception and also missing some open targets along the way. But with less than a minute remaining in the third, the redshirt sophomore delivered a beautiful ball to senior receiver Jermaine Burton.
This is setting up to be an epic fourth quarter between the Tide and Longhorns.
As you can imagine, the social media world went absolutely bonkers following the dime from Milroe to Burton.
