Somewhere in Tampa, Fla., Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is wondering where was this University of Alabama offense when he was a member of the Crimson Tide.
Although he is etched in stone of Tide folklore, one cannot help but to agree with Howard – especially seeing how the combination of offensive coordinator Michael Locksley and quarterbacks coach Dan Enos have developed the tight end position to being highly active.
Hale Hentges and Irv Smith Jr both recorded career performances over the weekend in Alabama’s 45-23 win over Texas A&M. Fans inside Bryant-Denny Stadium saw the duo combine for six receptions totaling 103 yards with two touchdowns.
