“We know he is a great quarterback,” Carter said. “He quarterbacks the offense at a tremendous level. We knew they started with him and we knew we had to be able to disrupt the passer to be able to go in and get him off the field on third down.”

Milroe completed 25-of-45 passing attempts for 239 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also recorded 11 rushing yards on 14 attempts.

Alabama was 3-of-14 on third down attempts against the Vols on Saturday.
