Georgia’s Beck, Alabama’s Milroe lead teams to SEC title game after replacing big-name QBs

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “We’ve been able to pick up steam as the season has gone along.” Beck has thrown for 3,495 yards and 22 touchdowns against six interceptions, while completing 72.4% of his passes. Georgia coach Kirby Smart compared Beck to “a bigger, physical version” of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. And Milroe has done something even Young couldn’t do last season: lead the Tide to the SEC title game. Milroe’s exuberant postgame celebration was also notable, when he yelled in part: “Give me the Heisman!” Milroe tried to downplay his words a couple of days later.
