Bryce Young got off to a great start to his career with an impressive game versus Miami on Saturday afternoon. He broke the touchdown record for the a QB's debut in a first game as a starter.
Joe Namath and Mac Jones had the previous record with three touchdowns. Young threw four: one apiece to Williams and Metchie and two to Latu.
Latu getting the start is one of those stories that didn't get much coverage. Billingsley is trying to get out of Saban's doghouse for something he's done. He played, but he didn't have a catch, which is concerning because he was a strong contributor in the last half of last season.
Latu is a big dude, and I'm hoping the new OC uses he and Billingsley like Irv Smith Jr. and OJ Howard were used.
For whatever reason, Hulu didn't start recording the game for me until halfway through the second quarter, so I didn't get to see Robinson running much or the drives of the Alabama offense that netted the 20 points.
However, it looks like the Tide had a good day on the ground although the offense tilted more towards the passing game.
Will Anderson Jr. was an absolute terror off the edge for Alabama. He was leading tackler for the team with nine total tackles and a sack.
I liked what I saw from the defense.
It looks like the Tide has a strong four-back rotation with B-Rob leading the group after he took advantage of another year of eligibility because of Covid. It'll be interesting to see which back-up emerges as the second back. It looks like it's a battle between McClellan and Sanders.
