Alabama doesn’t exactly have a high-profile matchup in Week 13, taking on Western Carolina on Saturday afternoon.
However, it’s an important game, because QB Mac Jones will need to gain some confidence heading into next weekend’s Iron Bowl.
So, what is coach Nick Saban telling his team ahead of this game? Tim Tebow weighed in on SportsCenter.
“Well, it has to be the Alabama standard,” Tebow said Saturday morning on SportsCenter. “It’s something they preach all the time. It’s something they talk about, and every single one of those guys have to show up and has to bring their A-game. Like we talked about last week, it’s a beauty pageant (for the selection committee). Mac Jones is a capable quarterback. Every time he has showed up in a game, he’s showed out. He’s shown that he’s capable. He also got a scholarship at Alabama. So, he’s good. I think Mac Jones is going to have a really good game propelling him into next week’s matchup against Auburn.”
Alabama should win easily on Saturday, but it’ll be interesting to see how the offense functions without injured starter Tua Tagovailoa.
