Alabama NFL roundup: Josh Jacobs sets the tone in Packers’ victory
Before Sunday night, Josh Jacobs’ only game against the Seattle Seahawks had featured 229 rushing yards, 74 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 40-34 overtime victory on Nov. 27, 2022.
Jacobs didn’t reach those numbers with the Green Bay Packers this time around against Seattle, but his new team still used the former Alabama running back to set the tone in a 30-13 victory.
On the Packers’ first possession, Jacobs had seven carries for 27 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown plunge, and two receptions for 17 yards. The only yards on the opening drive not gained by Jacobs came on a 4-yard run by quarterback Jordan Love and a 15-yard penalty against Seattle.
The next Green Bay series also resulted in a touchdown, and it started with a 21-yard pass to the running back and included a 19-yard run by Jacobs.
Jacobs finished the game with 94 yards on 26 rushing attempts and 42 yards on four receptions as the Packers improved to 10-4 while dropping Seattle to 8-6 and out of the top spot in the NFC West.
Jacobs was among the 54 former Alabama players who got on the field on the 15th Sunday of the NFL’s 105th season.
Three other former Alabama players were involved in the Green Bay-Seattle game:
Josh Jobe started at cornerback for the Seahawks. Jobe made two tackles.
Xavier McKinney started at safety for the Packers. McKinney made four tackles on defense and one tackle on special teams.
Seahawks nose tackle Jarran Reed made seven tackles.

Young lost a fumble at the Dallas 14-yard line to end Carolina’s first possession and lost another on the first snap of the second half at the Panthers 29-yard line to set up a Cowboys’ touchdown.

Watch AL governor candidate Tommy Tuberville speak on election night
See Tommy Tuberville speak on election night in Alabama
The Alabama Republican Party will hold a hearing on June 14 on a challenge questioning whether U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville meets the state’s constitutional residency requirement to run for governor.
The challenge comes from former GOP primary candidate Ken McFeeters, who argues Tuberville has not been a resident of Alabama long enough under state law.
McFeeters said he was notified Monday that the Alabama GOP steering committee will take up his residency at an upcoming hearing.
He has filed multiple challenges and a lawsuit contesting Tuberville’s eligibility, all focused on whether the senator meets Alabama’s seven-year residency requirement for governor.
Alabama Constitutional Residency Requirement for Governor
Under the Alabama Constitution, candidates for governor must be at least 30 years old, U.S. citizens for at least 10 years and residents of the state for at least seven years immediately before the election.
The dispute centers on whether Tuberville has maintained continuous Alabama residency under that standard.
Tommy Tuberville’s Campaign response
Tuberville, a former Auburn University football coach who moved to Alabama in 1999, has said he meets all eligibility requirements.
His campaign has released redacted federal tax returns covering multiple years in response to McFeeters’ claims.
Campaign chair Jordan Doufexis said the evidence will show Tuberville has long met the state’s residency threshold.
“We will submit a comprehensive response… demonstrating that he is a resident citizen of Alabama,” Doufexis said, adding the campaign is confident in its legal position.
Questions about Florida ties and past records
Tuberville’s residency has faced scrutiny for years, including reports citing ties outside Alabama.
Those reports have referenced a Florida driver’s license that remained active until 2023 and voting activity in Florida in 2018. Tuberville has pointed to Alabama property records and a homestead exemption tied to his family as evidence of residency.
McFeeters has also cited travel and expense records he says show Tuberville frequently traveled outside Alabama during the period in question.
The Alabama GOP previously rejected McFeeters’ residency challenge in February, allowing Tuberville to remain on the ballot.
Tuberville went on to win the Republican primary on May 19 with about 85% of the vote, easily defeating McFeeters and other challengers.
What happens if Tuberville is found ineligible?
If the committee were to rule against Tuberville, McFeeters could potentially become the Republican nominee for governor in the November general election.
He would then face Democratic nominee Doug Jones.

In Alabama Primary Elections, Incumbent Utility Regulators Feel the Squeeze of High Energy Prices – Inside Climate News
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—For some incumbents, politics have turned sour in sweet home Alabama. In the May 26 primary election for two seats on the Public Service Commission, the state’s utility regulator, voters rejected one incumbent and sent another to a runoff.
The electoral shakeup comes as Alabamians are increasingly concerned about economic issues, including utility prices. Polling released earlier this year showed that 80 percent of Alabamians cite economic concerns as the top issue state leaders should address.
Now, Alabama politicians have gotten their first sense of voters’ attitudes this election cycle, and the message for incumbents charged with regulating utilities is one of frustration.
Commissioner Jeremy Oden, a Republican who has served on the body since 2012, lost his bid for re-election to Matt Gentry, who currently serves as sheriff of Cullman County, 75 percent to 25 percent.
Gentry will go on to face Democrat James O. Gordon in the November general election.
Another Republican incumbent on the PSC, Chris Beeker, also failed to garner the most votes from primary voters. Jim Zeigler, a perennial candidate who served on the body from 1975 to 1979, earned the most votes with 45 percent to Beeker’s 25. Because no candidate earned the majority of votes, Beeker will face Zeigler in a primary runoff election on June 16. The winner will face Democrat Sheila McNeil in November.
Electricity prices, in particular, have become a hot button issue across the country ahead of this year’s elections, including in Alabama, where power-hungry data center projects have begun to spring up across the state. In neighboring Georgia, utility cost increases and data center development became a major discussion in its own Public Service Commission elections, races that led to major Republican-to-Democrat flips and garnered headlines nationwide.

In the Wake of Georgia’s Blue Wave, Alabama Changed Its Utility Regulation Elections. This Black Democrat Is Suing.
By Lee Hedgepeth
Fear of a similar outcome in deep red Alabama has left some politicians nervous. During this year’s legislative session, lawmakers were forced to pull a bill that would have ended Public Service Commission elections altogether after significant public outcry.
In its place, the majority GOP legislature passed a major restructuring of the regulatory body that inflates its membership from three to seven members and consolidates significant regulatory power in a newly created secretary of energy to be appointed by the governor. The new law makes it more difficult to initiate a formal rate case, effectively barring such a hearing before 2029 and subsequently requiring the approval of the secretary of energy or five of seven commission members to do so.
Alabamians have good reason for concern over energy prices. An Inside Climate News analysis showed that Alabama Power customers paid the highest average residential bills among the 100 largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. Experts have pointed to the “regulatory capture” of bodies like the Public Service Commission as one reason for those high rates.
All of the successful candidates in this year’s PSC primaries have cited high utility bills as a reason for reform.
In the race for the Place 1 seat, Gentry’s 50-point primary victory over Oden came in the wake of Gentry’s pledge to call for the first formal public rate hearing overseeing Alabama Power’s electricity price increases since 1982. James Gordon, his Democratic opponent, has gone further, calling for regular formal rate hearings, an immediate 25 percent reduction in bills and consideration of a cap on the company’s annual profits.
In the bid for Place 2, Zeigler and Beeker will battle it out in the lead-up to their June runoff. Beeker is relatively new to the commission, having been appointed to the body in 2024 to serve the remaining term of his father, also Chris, a three-term incumbent, who resigned citing health concerns.

Zeigler’s campaign has focused on pairing opposition to both large data center projects needed to power AI and solar farms for renewable electricity to harness local political passions, though his campaign’s website landing page features an AI-generated image as its background.
“They can ruin your community, consume water and drive your electric bills up. No one in Montgomery is overseeing this,” Zeigler said of data centers in a campaign video.
Beeker has taken a more traditional Alabama politics approach, nationalizing the issues and attacking what he labels “woke” left policies he claims without evidence are driving energy prices up.
Appearing in an ad holding his rifle on a farm, Beeker said he’ll fight for Alabama.
“As your public service commissioner, I’m again standing with President Trump against woke liberal environmentalists who are trying to kill Alabama jobs,” Beeker said.
As commissioner, Beeker has not yet called for a formal rate hearing on Alabama Power’s electricity prices.
McNeil, the Democrat in the race, did not face a primary challenger and has now begun her general election campaign in earnest. Her message? Power bills must come down.
“This is one of the most important positions on the ballot because it affects 1.5 million Alabamians,” McNeil said of the PSC races at a candidate forum earlier this month. “Utility rates are too high. They are some of the highest in the country. Something has got to be done because what has been going on for the last 20 years got us to where we are today.”
