"Tate Rodemaker could've thrown more than 116" - Fans roast Jalen Milroe after loss to Michigan in Rose Bowl

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl to advance to the national championship game. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe did not have the greatest night and many fans believe FSU quarterback Tate Rodemaker could have done a better job.

Milroe went 16-of-23 for 116 passing yards. He was sacked six times and finished with a QBR of 45.1.

Social media believed that Tate Rodemaker, the transfer portal quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles, could have done a better job if the Seminoles were the fourth seed in the College Football Playoff instead of the Crimson Tide.

Some fans lumped in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy as well.

People also claimed that the College Football Playoff selection committee and the media have disrespected Rodemaker.

How well did Tate Rodemaker do for the Florida State Seminoles after replacing Jordan Travis?

Florida State v Florida

Tate Rodemaker was the second-string quarterback behind Jordan Travis. However, once Travis suffered a season-ending leg injury, Rodemaker showed what he could do.

Rodemaker did an excellent job throughout the season as he went 32-of-56 (57.1 completion percentage) for 510 yards with five passing touchdowns and did not throw an interception. However, in two starts during the regular season, he combined to go 25-of-48 (52.1 completion percentage) for 351 yards with two passing touchdowns.

He did a good job but did not play in either the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game or the Orange Bowl.

While he did not face the Michigan Wolverines during his two-game stretch as a starting quarterback, he did throw for 134 passing yards against the Florida Gators.
