The big news of course is that Tua didn't play the majority of the game. He'll be out vs. Arkansas because he has a high ankle sprain.
So Mac Jones came in and looked pretty dang nervous early on. Then it looked like he got his legs under him a bit and played much better.
The Tide relied upon the ground game, which was something different this season. Both Harris and Robinson had good games, with Harris gaining 105 net yards on 21 carries. But the offense did pass for 233 yards.
Interestingly, if we are to go by Coach Saban's mantra about having "balance" on offense, the Tide did exactly that: 233 yards rushing and 233 yards passing.
Overall though, I think the team needs to tighten up their defense even more. Lewis once again stood out as a performer, but I'd like to see more production from the defensive linemen.
But like I said, next up is a squad of Razorbacks.
