WATCH: Alabama QB Jalen Milroe finds Jermaine Burton for a huge TD in Iron Bowl

John David Mercer - USA Today Sports

Alabama’s defense did not have its best showing in the first half of the Iron Bowl.

Auburn has 181 yards rushing and two touchdowns, but Jalen Milroe made a critical play for the Crimson Tide.

The sophomore quarterback silenced the crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium with a 68-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jermaine Burton in the second quarter. Milroe’s completion gave Alabama a 17-14 lead, and it was his 20th scoring toss.

Milroe has 32 total scores on the season. Hopefully, the Tide can flip the switch in the second half.
