Sunday Hangover: Western Carolina

The Tide looked great in the annual tune-up game before the Iron Bowl. 

Mac Jones had a solid game, but he's not typically going to get that kind of time in the pocket vs. Auburn. So we'll see what happens down on the Plains. 

There was all kinds of hype about Tua's younger brother playing, but Jones is clearly the more polished of the QBs. Jones threw some solid deep balls, and Sarkisian called the game as if Tua was in the game. 

From my amateur eyes, Jones looked fairly mobile and had a good pocket presence.

If Alabama loses against Auburn on Saturday, they have no shot of getting into the playoffs. If they win and if LSU beats Georgia (which I suspect will happen), the Tide has a good shot.
