Alabama QB Mac Jones one of few bright spots in 2018 A-Day Game

Never doubt the third quarterback in a conversation.

This is what Florida native Mac Jones wanted to show Alabama fans, coaches and teammates and in the first half of the Crimson Tide’s spring game he was able to do that.

While head coach Nick Saban was very displeased with Jalen Hurts – according to a tweet from Barrett Sallee of Bleacher Report – he was complimentary of Jones, saying “the third-team quarterback can move the team down the field throwing the ball.” Despite an interception in the second quarter, Jones completed 12 of 21 pass attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown.
