The position is called “safety” for a reason. But on this afternoon in Bryant Denny, they were anything but. The Crimson Tide repeatedly went over the top of an aggressive Chris Elko defense to smoke the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies.
Mac Jones was remarkably crisp through almost four quarters. He got rattled a bit in the second, but it was by far his best game in a crimson jersey — 20 of 27, 435 yards, 4 scores and an INT (just one bad throw that was nearly returned to the house.)
Najee Harris chipped in with a great catch on a wheel route, 43 tough yards on the ground, and two scores.
