Week 3 Player of the Game


No. 4 Alabama Routs North Texas (via ESPN)

So here are a few highlights of the game today, but they are not complete.  Here is a weekly poll I will do after every game asking who the best player was.  So vote in the poll on the right side of the page for who you really think did the best.
Greg McElroy- He had a tremendous game going 13-15 with a dropped pass totalling up 176 passing yards.  He completed 2 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown to lead the Tide to a victory.
Mark Ingram- He also put on a show with 8 carries for 91 yards (11.3 yard average) with a rushing touchdown.  He also had three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown.  Not to mention he did not even get to play the second half.
Terry Grant- Grant had two of the touchdown runs and 79 total yards.  Not many yards, but racked up him some good points.
Defense/Special Teams-  They Tide D help NT to 187 total offensive yards and 7 points, and the Mean Green did not cross midfield on offense with the football until 3:19 left in the 3rd quarter.  Also, Javier Arenas racked up 151 total return yards (90 on 4 punt returns and other 61 on a single kickoff-return).  This is essentially like giving us 151 free yards.

This was a great game against a poor opponent, and hopefully Tiffin will get over the 2 missed extra points he had in this warm-up for Conference games like Arkansas next week.
