Alabama’s poor defensive performance forced Mac Jones and the offense to work a little bit harder as they were down 13 – 7 in the second quarter.
Najee Harris put his body on the line and pushed through to help the Crimson Tide get near the goal line where he would then rush nine yards and hurdle a man which lead to him flipping into the end zone.

Alabama now leads Michigan with a score of 14-13 as the Citrus Bowl nears halftime.
If Alabama wants to keep the lead and grow on it, the defense will have to step up. Or else Najee Harris will have to continue risking his body by taking flight in the red zone.
