In his first career road start and first Iron Bowl as the main man, redshirt sophomore quarterback Mac Jones put together a resilient performance despite the hardships he faced throughout the contest.
Jones, who was starting his second game in a row after the season-ending injury to Tua Tagovailoa, had some self-inflicted wounds which put the Crimson Tide behind. Those wounds came in the form of two interceptions which were both returned for touchdowns that helped keep Auburn in the game long enough to prevail.
But after both mistakes, Jones had the same attitude and expression that Alabama looks for in its quarterbacks.
