The beauty pageants of Week 1 felt like a million years ago after Week 2 ugliness for both Alabama and Auburn.
Where they looked polished against the patsies, the jagged edges were exposed in distinctive fashions and with clearly contrasting results.
A week earlier, North Texas managed 21 points but the silver lining was the other side of the ball. Cal ran up 58 in that win over the Mean Green before finding the end zone just once against the Tigers. The 273-230 yardage edge for the Golden Bears were throwback numbers to a different era -- long before Hugh Freeze began working his mojo at the college level.
The transfer-to-transfer game-winner ended Thorne’s stat line at 9-for-14 passing with 94 yards, two scores and one interception.Even more fascinating, the 230 total yards weren’t the fewest in an Auburn win this decade. A year ago, perhaps one of the ugliest SEC games since 3-2 ended with the Tigers surviving 17-14 over Missouri despite gaining just 217 yards. Unlike that one, brighter days are ahead.
Quinn Ewers exposed continued issues in Alabama’s secondary with six completions of 30-plus yards. That included touchdowns of 44 and 39 yards to two different receivers and a 50-yarder to set up another score to a third. The first, a moon scraper to Xavier Worthy set the tone for what would be a wild night. Each home run shot came from relatively clean pockets as every trick in the Alabama pass-rush playbook failed to produce a sack while yielding just three pressures.
