Jalen Milroe has 6 touchdowns, No. 8 Alabama blows out Kentucky 49-21 to clinch SEC West title

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- , After early-season talk about its dominance waning, No. 8 Alabama is back on a familiar perch in the Southeastern Conference and bound for a destination it knows well. Credit that resurgence to a quarterback who also ignored the noise to progress. Jalen Milroe had a career-high six touchdowns , three each rushing and passing, and Alabama cruised past Kentucky 49-21 on Saturday to claim the Southeastern Conference West Division title. A week after rushing for a career-best four touchdowns in a 42-28 victory over LSU, the sophomore used his arm and his feet to surpass that total and lead the Crimson Tide (9-1, 7-0 SEC, No. 8 CFP) to an eighth consecutive victory and third conference championship appearance in four seasons. Milroe had four total touchdowns by halftime, three passing, including throws of 26 and 40 yards to Amari Niblack and Kobe Prentice .
