Scoring Plays
* Passing Touchdowns (3): AJ McCarron - 3 (75 yards, 60 yards, 39 yards)
* Rushing Touchdowns (2): Derrick Henry - 1 (3 yards); Blake Sims - 1 (30 yards)
* Receiving Touchdowns (3): Amari Cooper - 3 (75 yards, 60 yards, 39 yards)
A few observations:
- The team continued on through a rainstorm that hit Bryant-Denny.
- Despite the interception, AJ McCarron's performance would rate a 206.3 QB rating.
- Amari Cooper has picked up right where he left off.
- It's good to see Jalston Fowler is back.
- Lost in the plethora of running back talent has been true freshman Tyren Jones. His 7.6 yard per carry should get some notice. Jones is a 4-star from Marietta, GA. He is listed at 5-9 215 lbs.
- In this age of five receiver sets, do you think there is a chance the Tide brings back the wishbone? B)
