Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and wide receiver Jermaine Burton had an impressive performance in a game against Texas A&M. Milroe connected with Burton multiple times for big plays and touchdowns. Burton finished the game with eight catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first 100-yard game against a FBS opponent since 2020. Milroe threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Burton, as well as a 19-yard touchdown pass. However, Milroe also made a mistake by throwing a pass late in the game when Alabama only needed kneel-downs to secure the win, causing head coach Nick Saban to call a timeout and express his frustration with the quarterback. Despite this, Milroe still had a career-high 321 passing yards in the game. Alabama ultimately won the game 26-20, taking control of the SEC West.
