Julio Jones seems to be getting better the more the Crimson Tide needs him. The sophomore receiver was limited early in the season by a knee injury that he suffered against Florida International on Sept. 12, but he has played well in the clutch down the stretch. Jones has caught 27 of his team-high 40 passes in the Crimson Tide's last five games, including a career-high nine against Auburn. This season, even though Alabama was breaking in a new quarterback, Jones was expected to at least match those numbers from last year. Jones caught five passes for 124 yards in last year's SEC title game against Florida, and he'll be matched up against the same cornerbacks this year, too: Joe Haden and Janoris Jenkins.
