Jonathan Wallace makes debut

Quarterback Jonathan Wallace made his debut in Saturday night’s 12-10 loss to LSU at Jordan-Hare Stadium but he did not throw a pass.

Wallace, a freshman, ran the Wildcat formation and had three carries for 15 yards.

“Jonathan has made a pretty consistent track in terms of improvement out of practice and we like his poise,” Chizik said. “It is tough getting in there for the first time in a game like this and being productive. I am sure there are some things obviously that we will look at tomorrow that he can certainly improve on, but we figure that tonight was a good time to start with him.

“So, I was very proud of him. He secured the ball. He made some tough yards when we needed him to, which was exciting to see, and we will continue to work him.”
