It was a costly win. Besides Tua's season-ending injury, the two starting DTs got banged up too.
As for Tua's injury, Coach Saban will be second-guessed ad nauseam about still playing the QB with the Tide up 35 to 7. I'm not going to go there.
But I am a little peeved that people are thinking the Tide's season is over. Mac Jones was a highly touted QB coming out of high school in Florida, probably at least f four-star recruit. He has a lot of talent. He just doesn't have a lot of experience except for mainly mop-up duties and his lone start against Arkansas.
Sarkisian's play calling in the Arkansas game was, for the most part, conservative. So I hope they call some more downfield passes in the next two games. Jones has a good arm.
Western Carolina is up next, which is not much of a matchup. The real proving ground for Jones will at Auburn.
