The Alexander City City Council will hold a work session at 4 p.m. today. The council will discuss the fiscal year 2016 audit performed by Carr, Riggs and Ingram, a proposed municipal complex and a proposed rental ordinance. The audit has been in the works as accountants have been helping reconcile the books for more than three years and is one of several steps in bringing accounting issues up to date for the city. The municipal complex discussion is likely to include discussion about a new facility for much of the downtown city services including much of the operations in the current city hall. Previously options were looked at for the police department including the old Russell Corporation headquarters on Lee Street. A study determined the facility was not financially feasible to be renovated. The current facility for the Alexander City Police See COUNCIL • Page 3
Bill Nichols celebrates veterans over the weekend By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Bill Nichols State Veterans Home residents and their guests filled the cafeteria at the home Sunday afternoon as Bill Nichols held its annual Veterans Day Tribute, remembering those who served in the armed forces throughout America’s history. A car show was also held Saturday where residents and guests got up close and personal with military vehicles and other rides. Master Sgt. Harry S. Scroggins of the United States Air Force was the guest speaker at Sunday’s event, explaining how Alabama has lived up to its motto, “We dare defend our rights,” by never refusing to answer the call when war came. “Only a small percentage of our country’s population has answered the call,” Scroggins said. “Alabama has never failed to answer the call.” Scroggins said Alabama was a state born in war, as a violent conflict was waged against the Red Stick faction of the Creek nation across the territory that would become Alabama less than a decade later.

DEAR ABBY: I am ashamed to admit this, but years ago I had an affair with a married man. His wife had no idea, but all of his friends knew about it. She recently left him because she met someone else, and he’s not only badmouthing her, but also using it against her in their divorce. Would it be wrong of me to help her by letting her know he was a big cheater? I don’t want to cause her any more hurt than she’s already experiencing. I no longer have any interest in him, but I think the information might help her. I genuinely feel for her. -KARMA OUT EAST DEAR KARMA: I genuinely feel for her, too. By all means volunteer the information. And when you do, do NOT do it anonymously because if you do, her almost-ex can claim the information isn’t credible. DEAR ABBY: With the holidays approaching, I want to share with you the solution to a holiday problem. When our
DEAR ABBY Advice
kids grew up and started their own families, I had read many letters from young couples caught in the middle of a battle over where to spend Christmas. So I decided to start a new family tradition. We celebrated Christmas at Thanksgiving. We put up the tree and had all the family presents wrapped and ready to exchange underneath. It was a win-win! We got to share Christmas with family, watch our grandkids open their presents and enjoyed the holiday turkey with all the trimmings. The grandkids got two Christmases, and our kids enjoyed a guilt-free Christmas with their in-laws. As for us -- we spent Christmas with other people
who, for whatever reason, couldn’t spend it with family. It worked for years, and my children now continue the tradition. -- HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITHOUT CONFLICT DEAR H.H.: You came up with an excellent solution. Thinking outside the box is a trait that can be extremely helpful in ensuring the success of the holiday celebrations. For many reasons, not everyone celebrates the holidays on their designated calendar days, and that includes Thanksgiving. If more families took a page out of your book, it could eliminate much of the holiday stress regular readers of my column suffer. Thank you for taking the time to write. DEAR ABBY: I enjoy going to movies, especially to the theater in town where I can reserve my seat ahead of time. I recently reserved my seat two days in advance to a movie I had been wanting to see. When I arrived at the theater, a woman was sitting in
my seat. I politely pointed out to her that she was in my seat, and she glared at me and said rudely, “Really?” Granted, the row was empty at the time, but it was still early. I knew more people would show up, and I didn’t want to take someone else’s seat. So I replied, “Yes, REALLY. I reserved this seat days ago.” Was I right asking her to move? More people did show up, and the theater was full. -- MY SEAT IN NEW MEXICO DEAR MY SEAT: Yes, you were right. And if the woman had refused to move, you should have asked an usher to “clarify” your seat assignment for her and ensure she complied.

Veterans Mexico in 1835, the Texan government sent out a call to the citizens of the United States, asking for help in the fight against the Mexican army. Scroggins told the tale of a militia company raised in the north Alabama town of Courtland that went to Texas to fight, though only one of the militiamen survived the war after the unit was virtually destroyed during the massacre at Goliad. “(During the Civil War,) 120,000 Alabamians served in the Confederate Army or the Confederate Navy. Among the most famous soldiers from Alabama to serve in the SpanishAmerican War was Fighting Joe Wheeler,” Scroggins said. “He slipped back into his days serving in the Confederate Army while in Cuba, because he was heard on more than one occasion saying, ‘Come on boys, we have those damn Yankees on the run.’” Scroggins listed off how soldiers from

Alabama joined those from Iowa, Ohio and New York to help form the Rainbow Brigade during the First World War and how the state sent many of its young men to every corner of the globe during World War II to beat back Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. There was one solider from Alabama, Scroggins said, who killed or wounded more than 200 Communist soldiers in one night during the war in Korea, while other Alabamians fought against the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. He said 15 Alabamians were killed during the 1991 Gulf War and Alabama continues to send her best into service today in the War on Terror. Along with Scroggins’ talk, Bill Nichols administrator Angela Rose thanked everyone for coming to the event and recognizing the holiday with the home’s residents. “Bill Nichols is home to more than 150 veterans, and we are so

Department is small and cramped for the size department it houses. The issue to raise the most discussion is the proposed rental ordinance. At an earlier meeting this year, the council tabled a decision following a public hearing on the matter in September where area landlords said they were never allowed the opportunity to present their thoughts in the process. Three rental property owners were appointed to the committee formed earlier in the year to address the matter. Most rental property owners believe it would hamper their ability to help those needing housing and add costs to be passed on to tenants. “I am able to help people that need a house to live in,” rental property owner Faye Edmondson said at the public hearing. “Please don’t penalize us as the landlords. If someone has hardships, I will try to work with them as long as they are honest with me.” “It will just be another burden on landlords,” rental property owner Annette Lynch said at the public hearing. “We already have to do so much.” Landlords also said the inspection process would keep them from closing deals due to the added scheduling issues for the inspections. “Time is of the essence,” Lynch said. “We cannot wait a day or two or more for inspections.” It is not the first time the issue has come up. “This same issue came up in 2015,” city attorney Larkin Radney said at the same September meeting. “The then mayor did not appoint a committee. There was a room full of people then too. The landlord association said they would bring something forward and I don’t think they ever did.” The meeting will be held in the conference room at city hall.
thankful for them,” Rose said. Members of the Alexander City Veterans Honor Guard posted the colors at the start of Sunday’s program, while Mary and Jim Hopkins sang the national anthem. Air Force chaplain Tommy Martin led everyone in both the opening prayer and the benediction. As the ceremony began to wrap up, the Alexander City Police Honor Guard fired a 21-gun salute on the patio next to the cafeteria, followed by Howard Mattox of the Alexander City Veterans Honor Guard playing “Taps” before other honor guard members retired the colors. “We want to thank everyone for coming out today,” Rose said.

Weekend events N show deep appreciation for veterans
V
eterans Day was Sunday, giving Americans the chance to recognize and celebrate those who have served in the armed forces throughout history. From those who served in the Continental Army and the militia units who secured our freedoms more than 200 years ago to those currently rooting out terrorist warriors in Afghanistan, Sunday was a special day set aside to remember each of them. There were a multitude of events taking place across Tallapoosa County to recognize local veterans. Stephens Elementary had a special assembly Thursday morning. Jim Pearson, Radney, Alexander City Middle School and Dadeville High School followed suit Friday. Sunday afternoon, local citizens joined residents of Bill Nichols State Veterans Home as the facility held a Veterans Day ceremony under the front awning. The turnout at each of these events was a refreshing sight to see. Whether it was students’ parents who are veterans or special guests from Bill Nichols paying the schools a visit or members of the community sitting alongside veterans from many of the wars of the 20th century Sunday at Bill Nichols, there was no shortage of patriotism to be found in the community. The spirit on display these past few days have once again shown the people of this community are caring and considerate for others. We took the time to properly recognize why Nov. 11 is a national holiday, thanking those who put their personal lives on hold to answer America’s call. Whether we have veterans in our family or not, we still came together to honor the men and women who donned a uniform and served our country. No matter who you are or what you believe, Veterans Day is a time of remembrance that crosses all boundaries, letting us reflect on the many sacrifices, big and small, it took to make this country what it is today. With all of the events we saw on display, we here in Tallapoosa County have not forgotten the true meaning of this holiday.

ebraska Sen. Ben Sasse has written a book, “Them: Why We Hate Each Other – And How To Heal.” Sasse explores the many reasons we hate each other and suggests three points we can do to heal our divisions. Sasse summarizes three actions he calls “inches” to heal our social and political divides: The First Inch: Reject Anti-Identities; The Second Inch: Put Politics in Its Proper Place; and, The Third Inch: Live Local. He uses a lot of sports analogies to deliver his message about “anti-identities,” which people use to identify who or what they oppose. Sasse notes his antagonisms against rival teams from the local to national levels while he was growing up; then he confesses now how much more similar rivals are than different. Sasse writes, “Saying that ‘civility matters’ is too simple – and too boring. What we need is something bigger: We need to believe that both the dignity of our opponents, and the character we aim to model for our kids, require some basic rules for public debate.” Later he writes, “Accountability starts at home, and ‘what-about-ism’ is an intellectually vacuous way to live a life – not to mention being a morally bankrupt way to raise our kids.” “Put Politics in Its Proper Place,” as Sasse sees it:
DANIEL L. GARDNER Columnist “Civics is about who we are as a people. A nation requires a framework of shared values, a set of core commitments. Our Framers articulated those first principles in the First Amendment.” He says we have replaced ‘civics’ with politics. Then he writes, “Civil discord has always been the gravest threat to America’s security.” We’re not only fighting within, but we’re also being divided by many foreign entities through social media and, in some cases, through news and entertainment media. Americans have largely lost the values that laid the foundation of our Republic. Alexis de Tocqueville in his “Democracy in America,” wrote, “Americans come together to hold celebrations, to build hotels, to erect churches, to start libraries, to send missionaries to every corner of the earth….” Then, he noted, “Every job that in France would be done by the government or in England by some great noble, in America you can bet is being done by a group of volunteers.” Finally Sasse recommends living locally. “Our identity cannot be found
in anti-tribes. It cannot be found in politics. And it cannot be found flitting about, here, there everywhere … nowhere. We find lives of meaning and purpose at and near home.” To resolve our differences, he suggests, “What is needed is for people from both sides to agree that political and policy divides are not our primary identities or our primary divides. As Americans, we need to agree first on the universal dignity of all people, before we descend to the more divisive but less important debates about the prudential use of the levers of government power. If we fail to do that – that is, if we begin by regarding policy divides as ultimate – then we’ll inevitably all become the shrieking types. We’ll ultimately reduce all community events into platforms for hysterical politics.” While the media, politicians and pundits in Washington and New York increasingly shriek hysterical politics, the rest of us should remember we’re all Americans with more in common than not. Reject anti-identities, put politics in its proper place, and live locally. Daniel L. Gardner is a syndicated columnist who lives in Starkville, Mississippi.

Volunteers made for successful Renew our Rivers
T
hanks again to everyone who played a role in the 2018 LMRA Renew our Rivers Lake Martin cleanup held Nov. 2 and 3. More than 300 volunteers participated in this annual event and removed an estimated 20 tons of trash from our “Treasured Lake.” Volunteer’s filled dumpsters located at Wind Creek Park, Kowaliga boat ramp, Union boat ramp, Real Island Marina and the Alexander City boat ramp with trash removed from Lake Martin shoreline and adjacent roadsides. Three dumpsters were filled at Wind Creek. More than 100 tires and a refrigerator were included in the removed trash. A small hardworking group of volunteers concentrated on shoreline in the Elkahatchee Creek and Camp ASCCA area and filled as many as 1,000 large bags with trash that has accumulated over many years. The Dixie Sailing Club was present with its young sailors and cleaned a heavily trashed area near New Hope Church. Boats provided by volunteers, LMRA, Alabama Power Company and Lake Martin Dock Company loaded the heavy bags and large pieces of beaded Styrofoam and transported them to Wind Creek Park Marina and the Alexander City public ramp where they were off loaded into dumpsters.
JOHN THOMPSON Guest Columnist Wind Creek park superintendent Bruce Adams once again supported the annual event in an outstanding manner by providing personnel and equipment to off load the trash. A volunteer group from Martin Dam provided equipment and manpower to handle the trash at the Alex City Public Ramp. On Saturday, Wind Creek Park was filled with Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, as well as third- and fourthgrade students from Stephens Elementary accompanied by parents and Stephens art teacher Ms. Debra Griffith. These youngsters, armed with bags and orange trash pickers, picked up litter throughout the park stopping periodically to enjoy the park’s attractive playground. There was also a large amount of trash removed from adjacent roadways by the Russell Lands associates who cleaned from Ourtown to the Kowaliga Bridge. Volunteers from Lake Martin Dock Company cleaned from Highway 229 north to the Children’s Harbor Thrift Store. Coven Abbett Highway was cleaned from Highway 280 to Wind Creek Park by the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce
staff. Forty students from Reeltown High School did a great job cleaning roadsides in the Union area. Thirty-one residents in the Real Island area gathered at the volunteer fire department and cleaned roadsides throughout the community. The Real Island Marina provided a dumpster for disposal of the bagged trash. County commissioner Steve Robinson provided manpower to remove the tires for recycling. The event concluded on Saturday at noon and was followed by a delicious hotdog cookout courtesy of Alabama Power Company manager Marshall Griffin and his wonderful crew. In addition, snacks and drinks were provided by Alabama Power Shoreline Management Rhett Hanks, Kristi Cheany and Clint McKelvey. This is the 13th annual LMRA Renew our Rivers Lake Martin cleanup and each year we have increased our numbers of volunteers thanks to the great coverage we receive from the media including Betsy Iler, Amy Passaretti and Cliff Williams. Lake Martin is without a doubt the cleanest lake in the South and with the continued help from all these dedicated volunteers, we will be able to keep it that way.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Feelings run high, at least in your dream life. You gain an unexpected and perhaps startling insight. A conversation with a friend opens up the possibilities that come from this insight. Financial opportunities come through a partnership. Tonight: Where your friends are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Look for answers by removing yourself from a heated situation. Know your limits. You could feel as though you need to gain more information. Try to walk in someone else’s shoes as well. Through understanding, you could gain Änancially. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to a loved one at a distance. You might need to have a discussion about your impressions of certain events and what actually occurred. Opportunities head in from other people. Do not hesitate to ask for help, should you have an issue. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relate directly to a key partner and others who hold important positions in your life. These discussions, which could be emphasized more in the next few months, help to stabilize your daily life. A potential romance also could arise as a result of these chats. Tonight: Take a risk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your strong personality doesn’t always mesh well with others’. Defer to several eccentric people with whom you enjoy collaborating. Their high level of creativity appeals to you. You could be surprised by your reaction to what these people come up with. Tonight: Make it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have been on a roll, so buckling down to do some work and clear out some to-dos could be both important and relaxing. You can’t let the structure of your life fall to the wayside. Open up to a family member’s suggestion. Tonight:
Think only positive thoughts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You say what you think, and others demonstrate their caring through their responses. You re-establish a natural bond that exists between you and a close loved one. You could meet someone from out of the blue who could have a big impact on your life. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might opt to stay home, especially if you can work from there. You might Änd that you’re more responsive and creative in that setting. You also might be evaluating a real estate deal or some other matter involving your home. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You seem to be carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot in your pocket, so if you Änd yourself in a challenging situation, you will turn it around. You are full of surprises, and others might not be sure how to deal with you. Today, take the lead in all important matters. Tonight: Say “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your concerns frequently surround Änancial stability. Once more, the same theme emerges. You need to be careful with something that might seem like a good hunch but easily could be problematic. Nevertheless, you will Änd that your intuition is unusually high. Tonight: Pay bills. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You perk up early in the day. You suddenly might feel like you have control of a situation or the ability to handle whatever comes down the pike toward you. You have the ability to fulÄll a long-term wish or dream this year. Start planning. Tonight: Time to scheme with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be uncomfortable, as someone could be reading you too well. It’s not like you enjoy being deceptive, but you might need to keep some distance from others, especially if you’re in the process of sorting out your feelings. Tonight: Do whatever feels good.

Downtown Alexander City was a busy hub of activity Sunday afternoon as local merchants took part in the annual Holiday Open House event. Shoppers filled Carlisle Drugs, Ooh La La, Makers Market on Main and every other store on Main Street, getting an early jump on the Christmas shopping season. Customers took advantage of special sales as well, purchasing clothing, home décor and much more at discounted prices. Merchants were also set up inside the Lake Martin Area United Way conference room and on the sidewalks next to stores. Board members from ACT II were selling tickets to their upcoming Christmas show, while Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus took a seat in front of Makers Market, letting children take photos with them and hearing children’s Christmas wishes. Downtown restaurants were open as well, allowing guests the chance to grab some food and drinks after browsing their favorite stores.

He was a great boss, and yes we butted heads like any employee and boss, but the next day everything was fine again.” Jones grew up modestly in Clay County, put himself through school and law school in Montgomery while working for insurance companies and law offices in Alexander City.

He put Jones right to work trying a case on his first day.” Young said the area lost a great practitioner of the law. “He was excellent in the courtroom as a prosecutor,” Young said. “He was an excellent lawyer both in civil and criminal cases.

COMING FULL CIRCLE Duo of former Wildcat coaches enter Hall of Fame together
By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
For just one former Benjamin Russell coach to be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame is a serious honor, but for two former Wildcat front men to be inducted in the same year is an incredible feat. Benjamin Russell is celebrating this honor, as it was announced Sunday by the AHSAA both Willie Carl Martin and Phil Lazenby would be inducted in the ASHOF’s 2019 Class. “I just think it’s a testament to the tradition here and what it means to come here,” current BRHS football coach Kevin Smith said. Smith, who spent two decades as an assistant for the Wildcats before taking over the head spot this year, worked under both Martin and Lazenby and credits both for getting him where he is today. “I hate to pinpoint anybody, but (Lazenby) hired me for my first varsity job,” Smith said. “I consider him one of my best friends in the business, and he’s just kind of a guy who raised me in a lot of different ways. I worked for both of those guys at the same time, though, because coach Martin was the defensive coordinator and I was on the defensive side of the ball. That staff back then was just very, very instrumental in making me who I am.” Martin is a Wildcat through and through. Born and raised in Alexander City, Martin went to Laurel High School and was one of the first three black athletes selected to play in the North-South All-Star game. Martin went on to have a successful college career at Northeastern Oklahoma, where he is a member of its Hall of Fame, and also played 10 years in the Canadian Football League before returning home to coach the Wildcats. He started at Alexander City Middle School before Steve Savarese, who was the head coach at the time, brought Martin on as defensive coordinator. For 15 years, Martin directed a defense that allowed an average of just 12.32 points per game. “Carl was on my staff, and what I remember most about him is his signature was always a very physical, tough defense,” Lazenby said. “It helped us win a lot of ballgames. I’m so proud of Carl getting in the Hall of

Fame and getting to go in with me makes it that much more special. It’s people like him that made it possible for people like me.” After Saverese left BRHS, Lazenby was hired as head coach and athletic director, titles he held for four seasons. Under the direction of Lazenby, the Wildcats went to two state championships in four years and played in what many consider one of the best high school football games in Alabama history. Lazenby was at the helm when Benjamin Russell faced off against Homewood in the state championship and eventually fell in six overtimes. That was the last time Lazenby coached at Benjamin Russell. The following season, Martin took over as head coach, falling to Homewood in his first-ever game at the helm. But things came full circle, when the Wildcats won their only state championship in the playoff era by defeating Homewood, 20-13. Lazenby went on to have several different coaching stints and is the current coach at Bayside Academy, where he has been for 12 years. Martin coached the Wildcats until 2006 and eventually went on to be the Director of Player Development at the University of Alabama until his retirement in 2015. But despite all the successes these two coaches had at Benjamin Russell, it’s not the wins and losses they remember
best. “I never had a bad day at Benjamin Russell,” Lazenby said. “I always enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the kids that played for me. I had really good assistant coaches. With that combination of good kids and good assistant coaches, it just made for a good time there. I’ll always remember those days.” Martin mirrored those sentiments and said what got him to the ASHOF wasn’t him but it was the Benjamin Russell community and especially the support of his late wife, Leslie Martin. “Benjamin Russell is a very special place,” Martin said. “They have tradition there and a history of great athletes across all sports. To say it’s about me, Willie Carl Martin, going into the Hall of Fame, it’s not. It’s a combination of a lot of people and a lot of hard work, but most of all, it’s the players and the community, and I want to thank all the players. It’s too many names to call out, and I don’t want to miss any of them because all of them are special.” And that focus on the players rather than the victories still rings true at Benjamin Russell. “Both of them were the epitome of professionals,” Smith said. “The profession meant a lot to them. They didn’t do it just as a side interest; it was the core of their lives. Both of them didn’t really focus on primarily winning or losing; both of

Auburn starts fast but falls short at Georgia STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Playing against a top-five opponent Saturday night, Auburn jumped out to an early lead and looked to play the part of spoiler, but No. 5 Georgia proved to be too much as the Tigers dropped a 27-10 decision on the road. “Disappointing loss,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “First of all, give Georgia credit. They’ve got a complete team. They outplayed us in all three phases. We thought we had a chance to come here and win, and we didn’t get it done. “The one thing I’ll say is our guys fought. Our guys kept fighting, and they’re going to continue to do that.” Georgia scored first with an early field goal, but Auburn responded on the next drive with an eight-play 75-yard drive that was capped by a touchdown pass from JaTarvious Whitlow to John Samuel Shenker. Whitlow, the team’s starting running back, lined up in the Wildcat formation, rolled to his left and found

Shenker in the back of the end zone for the score. For Shenker, it was his third career catch and first career touchdown. On the same drive, Auburn senior Ryan Davis made his 154th career reception and passed Courtney Taylor as the program’s all-time leading receptions leader. Davis set a new
career-high with 13 receptions in the game and finished with 72 yards receiving. He’s now caught a pass in 24 consecutive games, the most by and Auburn player since Ricardo Louis had a 24-game streak from 2013-15. “I can’t speak enough about Ryan Davis,” Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham said. “He is the epitome of what an Auburn
football player is and what it should look like. I’m just blessed to be his teammate.” Davis and Stidham also made history together Saturday as they became the most productive pass tandem in Auburn history with 141 completions, passing Pat Sullivan and Terry Beasley (1969-71). Like the offense, the Auburn defense also started strong, making a pair of goal-line stands on Georgia’s first two drives that forced the Bulldogs to settle for two field goals. It was the ninth time this season the Tigers have held their opponent without a touchdown in the first quarter.
No. 1 Alabama blanks No. 16 Mississippi State, 24-0
The No. 1 Alabama football team recorded its second-consecutive shutout Saturday, blanking No. 16 Mississippi State, 24-0, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The victory is the 24th consecutive home win for Alabama, tying the school record set from 1971-74. The Crimson Tide (10-0, 7-0
SEC) held the Bulldogs (6-4, 2-4 SEC) to just 169 yards in total offense, 248 yards below MSU’s season average, and kept the Dogs off the scoreboard for the first time this season. Saturday’s shutout was the second in a row for the Tide and gives UA back-to-back shutouts for the first time since consecutive 49-0 victories over Western Carolina and Auburn on Nov. 17 and Nov. 24, 2012. The Tide defense totaled five sacks in the game and limited State to just 44 yards on the ground in the win. Dylan Moses and Quinnen Williams led the Tide with six tackles apiece. On offense, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 164 yards and a touchdown, running back Josh Jacobs carried 20 times for 97 yards and a touchdown and had the Tide’s lone touchdown catch. Irv Smith Jr. led Alabama in receiving yards with 70 on five receptions. Alabama has now won 10 games for the 11th consecutive season and the 38th time in school history.
