Pwyse, we are going to have to agree to disagree. The defense shut down the GA offense completely in the first half, had 3 picks, a forced fumble and recovery, including the game ending iNT. I’d call that pretty solid and game changing. Bama could not sustain a drive in the second half.

Bama’s offense played well in the first half but a large portion of the yardage, sustained drives, and points were attributable to GA freely allowing the quick screen passes which accounted for 10-12 of Milroe’s 18 first half completions. That and I don’t think they were even remotely prepared for Milroe’s speed. He simply ran right by them. Adjustments were made at the half and Bama’s offense could not move the ball effectively, run or pass, at all in the second half.

We were talking about different throws. You are 100% correct on the Williams throw in the 4th qtr. that was a back shoulder type throw on the sideline. I was describing Milroe’s longest completion in the first half. Sorry about the confusion. Some drinking might have started somewhere during the second half meltdown. Thought it was Williams but now that I think about it, I think that maybe it was Henderson. Milroe did not intentionally mean to leave that pass short and to the field side of the defender. Receiver was running down the hash, had a step on his man and had to slow down to come back for the ball and actually ducked back toward the center of the field and inside of the defender to make the catch. If he was throwing him open, the throw would’ve been over the top, slightly off hash, and to the sideline side away from the safety. To Milroe’s credit, he recognized the matchup and safety being out of position and made the correct throw but it was not a great one by any means. Receiver just made a tremendous adjustment and play on the ball. The iNT was a deflection, but it was a bad pass and well behind the intended receiver. Receiver had to reach all the way back across his body just to touch it and it deflected off his hand into the chest of the defender. The back shoulder in the 4th was a good ball too but the only truly exceptional throw he made tonight was on the wheel route for the TD in the first. It was a dang fine throw. On time and perfect placement. A true “dime” as CNC would say.

If the heisman is going to go to the best overall athlete in CFB, Milroe should win it. If it’s going to go to the most elusive and best running QB, Milroe should win it. No question about either, if that is the criteria. If it’s going to go to the Best passing QB, he’s not going to win it. Milroe is going to have a nice mix of both rushing and passing yards. He’ll have more rushing yards than the other QBs. The other QBs will have decent rushing yardage, but almost twice the passing yards that Milroe will have. Example: Ward has already thrown for 1800 yds and 18 Tds. Dart is right behind him. It’s honestly probably going to go to Milroe, Ward, Dart, or Ewers, depending on what the voters value most and whose team is still undefeated or still in the playoff picture, as of the time of voting. Travis Hunter is special too, but won’t have a real shot playing for CO. Milroe will have the promotional advantage due to Bama’s recent history/status as a top team, versus Miami, Ole Miss, Colorado or Texas.
