Mac Jones again was smooth as hell because he was protected and he threw the deep ball exceptionally well.
I have concerns still.
The Tide is not running the ball well. The offensive line has been strong in pass protection, but I want to see more success in the ground game. For example, the Aggies outrushed the Crimson Tide in a blowout. That's just plain weird.
In addition, when Alabama is a national championship level team, they stop the run. They did yesterday afternoon to a certain extent, but the defense needs to improve against the run, and the busted coverages are a major concern.
But on to positives...
It looks like we found a third receiver in John Metchie. With the defense fixating on Waddle and Smitty, he shone yesterday. I know on the one long TD with blew past a cornerback when he was playing the Z receiver. I can't remember where he was slotted on the second long TD.
Next up is a journey to Oxford to take on the Rebels, who are now led by Lane Kiffin.
