Did you notice?
- Mac Jones is a surgeon. As if that was a doubt. And a metaphorical lab coat-for-shoulder pads swap wouldn't make it less obvious.
- Trevon Diggs is pretty good, assuming you've noticed too. The Cowboys cornerback is campaigning for an All-Pro selection in his second season, and after grabbing two interceptions today, bringing the total to five in four games, his platform is pretty obvious: top corner in the NFL.
- That Najee Harris didn't steal the show until his fourth year at Alabama tells you everything about how much NFL talent was stocked on the Crimson Tide's offense from 2017-2020. Or maybe times are that bad in Pittsburgh. Either way ...

On this date in Crimson Tide history:
October 4, 1969: In one of the most exciting games in college football history, Alabama edged Ole Miss 33-32 before a sellout crowd at Legion Field and large television audience on ABC. Alabama’s Scott Hunter was 22-for-29 and 300 passing yards while Rebels quarterback Archie Manning was 33-for-52 for 436 yards to go with 15 carries for 104 rushing yards. Mississippi's 609 yards were the most ever registered against a Crimson Tide defense.
Crimson Tide quote of the day:
