Alabama's Ronnie Harrison clarifies scuffle on the sidelines
If they would have known that the Crimson Tide would end up beating USC 52-6, it’s doubtful that Alabama DBs Ronnie Harrison and Eddie Jackson would have engaged in such a heated sideline scuffle during the first half of Saturday night’s game:

However, those types of sideline fights can have lasting impacts on a team’s chemistry, so Harrison set out to squash the beef late Saturday night:
We competitors, sometimes we wanna win so bad our heads clash. Still got love for my brother @EJackson_4 ???

It seems as if Jackson has put the incident behind him, too:

Winning cures most bad blood between teammates, and the Tide certainly turned in a convincing win against the Trojans.
The No. 1 team in the country isn’t likely to be upset by Western Kentucky this Saturday either, so I think we can officially consider this wound healed.
