Alabama seeks more big plays from WR Jermaine Burton in Rose Bowl against Michigan
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “He certainly has done an outstanding job for us in terms of not just explosive plays but in terms of the position, top to bottom.” Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees said Burton’s ability to track the ball in the air is one of the key reasons for those big gains. “He’s made some catches down the field where whether they’re contested or he had to turn his body a certain way, his ability to track and react to balls really helps our ability to push the ball down the field,” Rees said. “When you have a great threat like Jermaine Burton, it’s only gonna get players like me open and Kobe Prentice and Malik Benson as well,” Bond said. “We’ve been actually pretty explosive on third down, which when you feel like you can dictate coverage a little bit, you have opportunities to get the ball down the field and find ways to get guys open, and I feel like we’ve done that pretty well this year,” Rees said.
