Jam Miller Appreciation Thread

I think this game showed us why he is the starter. He is a patient runner. Makes sense why the coaching staff was so high on him in the offseason.

The OL opened holes for him and he found them. Something we really haven't done (at least not well) under DeBoer when playing anyone of significance.

I believe our run game was hampered the last couple years because defenses were going after Milroe. Lots of blitzing and loading the box. They were bent on stopping Milroe's run. And it hurt our run game in general.

Not to reshash this but milroe could not operate across the middle of the field. This led to teams feeling confident in sending LBers on a blitz because he hadn’t shown the ability to make them pay for it. Flip the script and Ty was 8/11 against the blitz yesterday with I wanna say 150 yards. He did have the one int but I think that was more of a one off.

Kirby highlighted it also he sent the blitz and had free rushers and he made them pay for it multiple times.

Great job by Jam in blitz pick up and I am glad to see the big day on the ground for him.

Did no one tell Jam he was only supposed to run out the clock, not scamper for a touchdown?

Only the folks who had Vandy plus the spread.

Jam didn’t listen and didn’t care.

I posted in the game thread and didn’t get to follow up on it, but this was only Jam’s second game to eclipse 100 yards in his Bama career. I understand that’s because Milroe got most the rushing yards the past 2 seasons, but that stat still kinda blows my mind.

He's likely to rush for100+ several times this season.

Saw an analysis of the INT that said the TE ran the wrong route and dragged his coverage right into the play to put them in position for the INT.

Oof. It happens though, the team has played so much better and more in sync than in several years, just need to keep building and learn from the mistakes. Even Talty brushed off a couple of bad kicks and was clutch down the stretch! But I do think Cardiac Connor might be his handle going forward.
