Alabama didn’t miss a beat after tailback Damien Harris went down a couple of minutes into Saturday’s game in Tuscaloosa. The youngsters made sure of it. Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed the opening drive with a 20-yard touchdown run and fellow freshman Joshua Jacobs scored his first two career touchdowns in the top-ranked Crimson Tide’s 48-0 win over Kent State. The 4-0 Tide dominated coach Nick Saban’s alma mater from the start while scoring on a kickoff return and even a short touchdown throw to linebacker/short-yardage blocker Mack Wilson — yet another freshman. The only bad news for Alabama was Harris sprained his right ankle on the opening drive and didn’t return.
