Nix’s comments were likely not meant to disrespect Jones and the incredible season he is having, but Alabama players didn’t appreciate them nonetheless.

Latest on Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Mac Jones including complete game-by-game stats on ESPN. Jones arrived in Tuscaloosa as an early enrollee, but redshirted his freshman season in 2017. Jones, according to Saban, continued to gain confidence and improve mechanics since his performance in the 2018 A-Day game. After throwing for 289 yards and two touchdowns in the Crimson Tide's spring game, Jones was named A-Day MVP.
In No. 1 Alabama’s dominating 42-13 win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday, Jones was flawless, completing 18 of 26 passes for 302 yards and five touchdowns.
His play was a major reason why the Crimson Tide handled the Tigers with such ease.
Meanwhile, Nix completed 23 of 38 passes for 227 yards and two interceptions.
Jones left no doubt who the better quarterback was in the Iron Bowl.
On Monday, Alabama football’s official Twitter account joined in on the fun and sent some shade Nix’s way.
Game, set, match.
