So Bo Nix called Mac Jones a "game manager," huh? How'd that work out? During the game, the announcers related this comment, which apparently got the wide receivers all riled up to show what Mac can do.
Here's what Mac did: 18 for 26 passes completed for 302 yards and 5 TDs.
Once again Devonta Smith put up huge numbers and brought in two more touchdowns. Metchie had a solid game. And Billingsley has emerged as one of those super-athletic TEs who can create serious matchup problems.
Najee had a solid game with a great TD run and an outstanding catch and run off of a dump pass.
Final score: 42 to 13.
The lone touchdown by Auburn came in the fourth quarter. However, the Tide defense played well by mainly shutting down the Auburn run game throughout most of the game, which then hindered their play-action, gadget stuff they do with their passing game.
The biggest change I've seen in this team is the play of the defense. If we want to think back to the olay defense that happened versus Ole Miss, it's clear the D has gotten better.
