Senior tight end mostly used as a blocker is rewarded with a touchdown, just the second of his career.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama tight end Robbie Ouzts caught his second career touchdown, a 44-yard pass from Jalen Milroe in the second quarter against Mercer on Saturday. There wasn’t a defender within 10 yards of him as he walked into the end zone for the second touchdown of his career.The senior is one of the unsung players who is mostly used as a blocker and does the dirty work in the trenches. But, as he proved Saturday, he is a pass-catching weapon.
“It was wonderful to see the young guys get to play. They put in the work every day and I couldn’t be happier for them.”"Jalen had some pressure in his face. You can't get them all," he said.It was a big day for a few Crimson Tide players. Defensive back Zabien Brown scooped up a fumble and sprinted 66 yards for his first career touchdown. It was also the first Crimson Tide non-offensive touchdown of the season.
“ were getting on me, telling me I should have scored,” he said of the defense joking with him. “I was falling back, I couldn’t score. They said ‘You should have done something.’”
