The Alabama crimson Tide lead the Texas A&M Aggies 35-14 heading into halftime during SEC’s second week of action.
In Alabama’s home opener, Mac Jones got his second start of the season and wasted no time trying to get ahead of the tough Aggie defense with a 78-yard touchdown pass to redshirt-freshman wide receiver John Metchie III.
Overall, Jones threw for 271 yards on 15 completions through 19 attempts and one interception in the first half. The sole interception set up a one-play series for Kellen Mond and Texas A&M that resulted in a quick 17-yard touchdown.
The pass catchers combined for 273 yards and two touchdowns in the half. With Metchie (118 yds), Smith (51 yds) and Waddle (55 yds) being the only true wide receivers to reel in receptions.
Najee Harris continues to be the offensive spark for Alabama, running for 36 yards on 10 carries for two touchdowns.
The defense has not yet found consistency in 2020. They allowed 148 passing yards, 71 rushing yards and two passing touchdowns. However, Daniel Wright did return an interception 48 yards for a touchdown late in the first half to extend the Alabama lead
While Mond was able to find success through the air with 11 completions on 22 passing attempts for 148 yards, two touchdown passes and a lone interception, the combined rushing attack by Isaiah Spiller, Ainias Smith and Mond, Himself, could become an issue for the Alabama defensive front in the second half. The three of them have combined for 16 carries for 71 yards.
