The next week will be full of distractions for Alabama football, as quarterback Mac Jones made clear Friday night.
Jones fended off one reporter asking about the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded Tuesday night, with an answer straight out of the Nick Saban playbook: “That’s a rat-poison question.”
Jones didn’t get a lethal dose, certainly not compared to his teammate, DeVonta Smith, the presumptive front-runner. However, with the way the rest of Friday night unfolded, even a drop of distraction might be dangerous.
