UNDATED (AP) — The Alabama team that seemed to be trending in the wrong direction in September is now a legitimate national championship contender with quarterback Jalen Milroe as an emerging star and fringe Heisman Trophy candidate. After sharing the marquee with LSU’s Jayden Daniels last week, Milroe was the star of the show as No. 8 Alabama routed Kentucky. Milroe accounted for six touchdowns, three through the air and three on the ground. That had never been down by an Alabama player. Elsewhere, No. 2 Michigan won without Jim Harbaugh under the direction of his possible long-term replacement.
