What happened
ESPN RECAPJones throws deep, No. 2 Alabama tops No. 13 Texas A&M 52-24
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Mac Jones launched his first pass far to John Metchie III for a 78-yard touchdown. It was most definitely a sign of things to come. Jones passed for a career-high 435 yards and four touchdowns, including a pair of deep throws to Metchie and an even longer one to Jaylen Waddle , and No. 2 Alabama romped past No. 13 Texas A&M 52-24 on Saturday. Briefly threatened early, Jones and the Crimson Tide (2-0) flexed their considerable big-play muscle in the passing game to put away the Aggies (1-1). "Our guys stayed the course and kept competing in the game," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "That's really what we wanted to do." For a team once known for running the ball, Bama aired it out. Metchie looked like the Tide's latest major receiving threat, alongside Waddle and DeVonta Smith .
