PODCAST: Mac Jones gets first start, Christian Barmore gaining trust and UA recruiting news

Many topics were up for discussion on this edition of In My Own Words the podcast with yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine. In the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (ankle), Mac Jones gets his first start for Alabama at quarterback versus Arkansas for homecoming.

The redshirt sophomore hails from Jacksonville, Fla., and had a great week of practice.

While he is doubted by some, yours truly released a segment on why he is ready for the moment and why Crimson Tide fans need to rally behind him. Prior to his arrival at Alabama, the former four-star took a small private school – The Bolles School – to a Class 4A State Championship.
