DeVonta Smith Belongs Alongside Mac Jones in Heisman Race
Smith, and the rest of Alabama s playmakers, have been overshadowed by Jones success for most of the season. While the standout quarterback certainly deserves a place in the final Heisman conversation, the senior wide receiver also belongs in the discussion.
The Tide struggled for most of the first quarter, showing little explosiveness on offense and defensively allowing an overmatched Razorbacks squad to move the ball.
