I always hate trying to recap the paycheck games because the talent disparity is so great that it’s tough to glean much. Alabama’s players are expected to throughly dominate across the board, and to their credit they did just that.
The offense started off like gangbusters, as Jalen Milroe hit Jermaine Burton on a deep ball and subsequent touchdown for an early 7-0 lead, and Alabama was never challenged on the scoreboard from that point. If there is a criticism to be made, it’s that the team seemed to hit a lull once up by 28. Tim Smith oddly vacated a gap that Chattanooga RB Gino Appleberry exploited for a 40 yard score, the Mocs’ only touchdown of the afternoon.
