Alabama-Ole Miss grades: Tide’s defensive stars fuel comeback win
quote:
Quarterback grade: Jalen Hurts, 68.1
While Alabama came out with the win on the road against a top-20 opponent, it was in spite of a below-average passing performance from freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts. Twelve of his 19 completions came on throws aimed behind the line of scrimmage, due to an abundance of screen passes early – something we saw from both teams. But once the game opened up more, Hurts didn’t look quite as comfortable as we’ve seen in previous weeks. He made a notable misread of coverage early in the second quarter, resulting in a pass thrown right to Rebels cornerback Montrell Custis that should have been picked off. Instead, Alabama took advantage of the break with a 60-yard punt on the next play. Hurts also killed the team’s next drive by sacking himself and losing the ball without contact during his throwing motion.

Top offensive grades:
C Bradley Bozeman, 79.8
TE O.J. Howard, 74.1
WR Calvin Ridley, 74.1
RB Damien Harris, 72.0
TE Brandon Greene, 69.3

Top defensive grades:
LB Reuben Foster, 85.9
DE Jonathan Allen, 85.3
DT Dalvin Tomlinson, 85.2
DE Tim Williams, 80.0
DE Ryan Anderson, 78.2
quote:
Edge rusher Tim Williams had his usual strong performance, converting five of his 30 rushes into pressures, including a bull rush at 5:44 of the fourth that forced an interception, but was mostly overshadowed by a pair of teammates on the defensive line. End Jonathan Allen caught the pick on that play and took it to the end zone to extend Alabama’s lead to 17. Outside of that, he picked up seven pressures to go with a defensive stop and several other positive plays against the run.

Jalen was lucky he fumbled that one throw. It had pick 6 written all over it.

not surprising that none of our DB's is mentioned on d in the top 5-6

This website, while interesting, really has zero value in grading Hurts performance for our purposes strictly as Alabama fans. Why? Well, what does the "P" stand for? The writer clearly devalues Hurts' contributions to the ground game, because he's looking at him as a future pro QB prospect. Are any of us really all that bothered by the fact that we haven't had a serious NFL QB since Richard Todd? Does it really matter how Hurts as an 18 year old kid grades out on an NFL grading scale?

No mention of Hentges' impressive performance? I mean, the guy had like 3 tfl and several possible big plays broken up...

Hurts would have thrown for a TD had the TE not stopped running and continued his route.
