Offensively, Mac Jones has had an impressive first half completing 9 of 11 passes for 253 yards and 3 TDs. DeVonta Smith finished the first half with 3 receptions for 79 yards and TD. Jaylen Waddle has put on a show in the first half as he also has 3 receptions, but for 101 yard and a TD.
Defensively, Alabama has showcased a dominance we’ve been expecting to see all season led by Xavier McKinney who recorded two first half interceptions, one of which was returned 81 yards for a TD, as well as a forced fumble. The defense has also sacked WCU’s Tyrie Adams 4 times so far in the game. They have held Western Carolina’s quarterback, Tyrie Adams, to only 84 yards passing and 2 INTs.
Alabama will need to start the second half with the same energy and momentum. It will be interesting to see if Mac Jones starts the second half, or if we will see Tua Tagovailoa’s younger brother, Taulia, in at quarterback.
Stay tuned for more news, updates and highlights from Roll Tide Wire as the second half gets underway!
