In what could only be described as a glorified scrimmage, the Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia State Panthers by a score of 63-7 on Thursday night.

The Tide accumulated 478 yards of total offense while the defense forced a total of five turnovers. In the process of putting 63 points on the board, a total of seven Tide players scored touchdowns.

‘Bama wide receiver Julio Jones had two touchdowns on the night against the Panthers and oddly enough, it was the first multiple score game of his Crimson Tide career.

Jones finished the game with seven receptions for 86 yards.

Tide quarterback Greg McElroy (in limited action) went 12-of-13 for 159 yards and two touchdowns while running back Mark Ingram ran for 86 yards and one touchdown.

Linebacker C.J Mosley became the first freshman linebacker in school history to have two interception returns for touchdowns over the course of the same season.

Mosley returned an interception 35-yards for a touchdown against Florida, and took one to the house (41-yards) last night against Georgia State.

During the course of the game (as expected) Alabama emptied the bench and seemingly allowed most everyone not injured and/or redshirted to see the field.
