Jalen Milroe rushed for 4 touchdowns, nearly 200 yards as the No. 11 Alabama reigning No. 15 LSU

Jalen Milroe owns a property in Death Valley after his reign in Baton Rouge.

The Alabama quarterback rushed for four touchdowns as the No. 11 Alabama knocked off the 15th-seeded LSU Tigers, 42-13, on Saturday Night.

Alabama came to play from the jump, as Milroe rushed for 39 points on his first drive of the night. After allowing a field goal, it was Justice Haynes who went on the mound for a one-yard touchdown. The Tigers would add another field goal before halftime, but Milroe would find the end zone again and take a 21-6 lead into the locker room.

LSU’s first drive of the second half was nearly flawless, as they got inside the opposing five-yard line — but Garrett Nussmeier threw a costly punt in the end zone, and the Crimson Tide didn’t let it go to waste. An LSU facemask penalty gave Bama more help than they already had, and Milroe ended up scampering for a 19-yard touchdown for a 28-6 lead.

After punting, Bama got the ball early in the fourth quarter, and that’s where Milroe’s biggest impact happened. He found some holes and went on a 72-yard touchdown run, making it a 35-6 Crimson Tide lead.

To put the cherry on top of it all, Alabama’s defense didn’t allow a touchdown until there were only 11 seconds left in the game.

OLE MISSES THE FANS AT TIMES WITH TIME REMAINING, CAUSES A DELAY IN THE END OF THE GAME

In all, Milroe rushed for 185 yards on his 12 carries – 33% of his carries found the end zone.

The loss is key for LSU, which entered the game ranked 15th in the country. So, now they will need a lot of help to think about the College Football Playoff.

Bama, on the other hand, has now won two in a row after losing two of its past three — and they had dropped 28 points against Georgia before that point in the loss, and there was a fumble guard.

However, Saturday’s dominance against their longtime SEC rival was a good reminder that they are not going away easily. – by losing to No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Miami, should find themselves in the top-10 in next week’s rankings.
