• Alabama wide receiver against Alabama defensive back? That's just another day in the NFL.

DeVonta Smith is lighting it up today. He just made a leaping TD reception in the back of the end zone with Jobe in coverage. Tremendous catch in traffic. Smith maintained possession tumbling to the ground. Alabama game recognizes game as Jobe immediately helps Smith up.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

August 21, 1961: Jack Hurlbut, who was expected to compete with Pat Trammell for the starting quarterback job, suffered a broken left arm and wrist after falling from a tractor on his father's ranch near Houston. Early indications were that Hurlbut, a transfer from Rice, would miss the entire '61 season. – Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Keep your head up — act like a champion.” – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant.

We'll Leave You With This:

• Great story on former Alabama Basketball star Herbert Jones:

Two years after the Pelicans took him in the second round, Herb Jones signed a four-year, $54 million deal with the Pelicans. Spoke to Herb about the contract, why he didn't want to wait, and how this was a win for the whole Jones family. https://t.co/KvP8JNlGcV
