They just carried McCarron off the field, looks like an ankle injury. Has the Tide just been neutralized?

McCarron doesn't play defense so I would say no at this point.

True their defense is the teams anchor, but i'd be happy if we had their offensive production. And we all know he's the offensive glue that holds them together, without him how much production do they muster?

Well he's back in but with a brace on... just handing the ball off now.
