Tua Tagovailoa is the starter, but Jalen Hurts still shows he can contribute.
Both quarterbacks combined for six touchdown passes in Alabama’s 57-7 win over Arkansas State in its home opener at Bryant-Denny Stadium. While Tagovailoa put together another 60 percent or higher completion percentage game, Hurts’ two scoring passes moved him to third all-time in school history (42).
After passing former Tide quarterback Brodie Croyle, he now stands behind John Parker Wilson (47) and AJ McCarron (77) in this category.
Sophomore running back Najee Harris turned in a career day with 135 yards rushing with a touchdown on 13 carries.
