COLUMBIA, Mo. – The second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide began the 2020 campaign with a 38-19 win over the Missouri Tigers on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. The Tide opened the season with a win for the 14th straight year under head coach Nick Saban.

On offense, Alabama was led by Najee Harris' career-high tying three rushing scores. The senior carried the ball 17 times for 92 yards while adding two catches for eight yards. Junior Jaylen Waddle paced all receivers with two scores and 134 yards on a career-high eight catches. Mac Jones finished his season-opening start an efficient 18-of-24 for 249 yards and two scores, connecting with Waddle on touchdowns of 18 and 23 yards.

Redshirt junior Daniel Wright paced all Tide defenders with a career-high 11 tackles, including one for loss. His tackle for loss was part of Alabama's 8.0 for -37 yards. The 8.0 tackles for loss were the most by a Tide defense since UA posted 10.0 against Mississippi State on Nov. 10, 2018. Alabama also racked up 3.0 sacks with juniors Josh Jobe and LaBryan Ray each recording a sack while sophomore Christian Harris rounded out the group.
