And I just said we’re going to go back to that and make their safeties cover our guys in the slot. “It was just a matter of when”. Deshaun Watson, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, will be the best quarterback the Tide have faced this season.
U.S. Marshals brought Couch’s mother through Los Angeles International Airport early Thursday after a flight from Mexico.

The militant group had planned to use suicide bombers in the attack, Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said. Cities across Europe have been on edge since a terror attack in Paris in November killed 130 people.
Her attorneys released a statement saying she had done nothing illegal and wanted to get back to Texas as soon as possible.
Ethan Couch was transported late on Wednesday from a detention facility in Guadalajara to another in Mexico City.
Tonya Couch and her 18-year-old son, Ethan, were taken into custody this week in Mexico, where authorities believe the pair fled to in November as Texas prosecutors investigated whether he had violated his probation.
The National Immigration Institute official said Tonya Couch was sent home because immigration authorities did not receive a judge’s injunction like the one that temporarily blocked the deportation of her son.
Mexican authorities and the U.S. Marshals service were coordinating their return, which was slated for today.
If convicted of the hindering charge, she could face two to 10 years in prison, Anderson said. Her bond there was set at $1 million, Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Samantha Jordan said Thursday.
Couch is now being held in a Los Angeles jail after being deported from Mexico late Wednesday.
Los Angles prosecutors say that won’t happen until at least next week. Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Jane Robison said Thursday that no extradition hearing was planned ahead of the New Year’s holiday.
Ethan Couch, 18, is shown in this handout photo provided by the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department in Fort Worth, Texas, December 17, 2015. During his 2013 trial on drunken-driving charges – a crash that left four dead – a defense witness testified that Ethan was afflicted with so-called “affluenza”, meaning his irresponsible behavior and lifestyle were a product of his affluent upbringing and “profoundly dysfunctional” parents. “He will be here for the time that is necessary” for the deportation case to close, the migration official said on condition of anonymity, adding that the process could take weeks or months.
That official tells AP reporter Mark Stevenson that a judge has agreed to hear arguments on Couch’s appeal.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – A teen fugitive who’s known for using an “affluenza” defense in a trial for a deadly drunken-driving wreck is being detained in a Mexico City immigration facility while his mother is jailed in Los Angeles after being deported from Mexico.
Couch and his mother Tonya were caught Monday in Puerto Vallarta.
Couch disappeared earlier this month after he missed a mandatory meeting with his probation officer.
Anderson said when Ethan Couch arrives back in the United States, he would appear at a detention hearing in the juvenile justice system.
On Aug. 10, Tonya Couch sold her 3,964-square-foot house at 1719 Burleson Retta Road in Burleson, deed records show.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Eugene Hwang said Thursday that he couldn’t immediately comment.
