"Horrible form": CFB world calls out Jalen Milroe's multiple turnovers against Michigan in ReliaQuest Bowl⁩

The Alabama Crimson Tide is playing the Michigan Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday. This game is a rematch of the 2024 Rose Bowl, which was part of the College Football Playoff, where the Wolverines would be victorious in a game that went to overtime.

One player who played in that game and will feature in this one is Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. However, it hasn't gone to plan for the quarterback. The usually strong Milroe has struggled in the game. In the first quarter alone, Milroe turned the ball over three times.

Here is how college football fans reacted to the struggles of Milroe against the Michigan Wolverines.

These fans have criticized the general play of Milroe during this period.

"This guy is not an NFL QB. No pocket presence. Horrible form," this fan said.

These fans think that Alabama need to get rid of Milroe if they want to succeed:

"Milroe has never been the guy, way too inconsistent. Moments of excellence but too many horrible decisions. Will be most likely turned into some kind of gadget guy in the NFL," this fan said.

"Alabama will be a better team when they move on from Milroe. When he’s good he’s good…when he’s bad he’s really friggin bad," another fan said.

"Be glad when he is gone. Bama's scheme sucks with him at QB. It's simple and predictable. DeBoer better figure this out. He looks overmatched too," a third fan said.

These fans have made fun of the fact that many Alabama fans believed that their team should be in the CFP. Then, they have an awful first quarter in a bowl game.

"This who y’all wanted in the playoff tho right?" This fan said.

Finally, this fan has taken note of something that the commentators said was the apparent reason why Milroe and Alabama have been struggling.

"Announcers said it was the cleats that bama had on," the fan said.

Why did Jalen Milroe struggle in the first quarter?

The Alabama Crimson Tide did not have the best first quarter during their Bowl game with the Michigan Wolverines. They conceded 16 points during this period and turned the ball over numerous times.

This is unlike Alabama, but there may be a reason for these mistakes, something that was completely out of their control. During the first quarter, there was a heavy downpour of rain.

This made the field and the ball very slippery, and many Alabama players were sliding around. The wet ball did not help the team, and this could be a reason why the mistakes happened.

Once the rain stopped and the field began to dry, there was an improvement in the Crimson Tide's play, with the team scoring a touchdown in the second quarter.
