JaLen Milroe's odds of winning the Heisman Trophy could increase if he continues to play the way he did in the first half against Kentucky.

The sophomore was electric on the road in an SEC showdown. He took a shot to his thigh in the first quarter, but Milroe responded with four total touchdowns. He had three touchdown passes, hooking up with Amari Niblack, Kobe Prentice, and Roydell Williams. Milroe completed 11 of 17 passes for 185 yards and has the Crimson Tide with a 28-7 lead.

He had one bad throw in the first half, but the interception did not lead to points for Kentucky.

Alabama fans reacted with joy on social media to its quarterback cooking the Wildcats.

JMil is a 20-year-old kid developing right in front of us. He needed time

Hopefully, Milroe can continue to be dominant in the second half.
