“Horrible throw” “Dynasty done”: Alabama star Jalen Milroe receives flak from fans following disappointing start during Tennessee clash

No. 7 Alabama and No. 11 Tennessee are competing in one of the most anticipated matchups of Week 8. However, Jalen Milroe did not start the game as many fans hoped. Late in the first quarter, Milroe led a drive down to the red zone and it looked like Alabama was going to get its first touchdown of the game.

However, a poorly timed pass led to a Tennessee interception by Jermod McCoy. To make matters worse, McCoy returned the ball 54 yards. Fortunately for Milroe and Alabama, Tennessee did not capitalize on the interception and missed a field goal after a six-play drive. Nonetheless, it still resulted in many fans on Twitter criticizing Milroe.

Most fans were very critical after the interceptions.

"Horrible throw," one fan commented.

"Dynasty Done," one fan added.

"All Bama had to do was run the ball...," one fan wrote.

Other fans complained about quarterback Jalen Milroe in more interesting terms. One even compared him to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

"Jalen Prescott," one fan wrote.

"This QB class might be a*s," one fan added.

"Bama about to lose again," one fan commented.

Fortunately for Milroe, he was able to lead Alabama to the first points of the game on a 64-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Ryan Williams.
