12/02/20 - WR DeVonta Smith, Sr/2021, Alabama

Saban said they've been able to use the play-action pass or bubble screens to get him the ball creatively. The first of his two touchdown catches against Auburn came on a play-action look that included a violent Jones pump fake before hitting Smith wide open - almost 10 yards behind the nearest defender - for a 66-yard touchdown. "He's a smart guy," Saban said. "He can play all the positions, which is very helpful, because some guys that you have playing receiver, it's almost like the defensive backs, some guys can just play corner, they can't play anything else. Some guys can just play split end or X receiver as we call it. Other guys can only play Z or the flanker position. But in Smitty's case, because he can play H, he can play X, you can play Z, I mean, we can move him all over the place."

Smith was in the slot for the first touchdown, then got free for his second score lined up wide. He faked a blocking action to free himself for a slant Jones delivered for a 48-yard touchdown. "Defenses can try to lock in on DeVonta," Metchie said. "I don't think...It's kind of hard to stop somebody like that. Personally, I think Smitty is the best player in college football right now. I would say everything has been kind of the same. I will continue to do what I can to help this team win and Smitty will continue to do what he does day in and day out." - Birmingham News
