Regardless of most people wanting to wait to see how he performs versus Georgia, there are some media outlets who have started looking at Mac Jones as a Heisman Trophy contender. He added on to his strong showing against Missouri with a massive outing in the Crimson Tide’s home opener versus Texas A&M. The redshirt junior quarterback was very accurate with the football, completing 20 of 27 passes for a career-high 435 yards with four touchdowns to one interception in a 52-24 win for the Tide.
Jones’ output in passing yards ranks fourth all-time in school history for a single game, and he is the lone signal caller in program history to total three career scoring passes of 85 yards or more.
