The post-Tua era of Alabama football means going into the 2020 season without a predicted, Top 10 quarterback. Those pre-season predictions may give way to different results. Mac Jones’ teammates and the Crimson Tide coaching staff appear to have full confidence in the redshirt junior. His 2019 game stats warrant confidence.
Against Arkansas, Auburn and Michigan, Mac was 60-for-86 for 797 yards, with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. His quarterback rating in those three games was 216.5, 162.4 and 213.5. One of his interceptions in the Auburn game resulted from a grievous mental error. The other was a bizarre fluke.
