Deflected pass for an Ole Miss touchdown was 'luck'

Cam Robinson was on the bench, but saw it on the jumbotron. Dillon Lee had never seen a play like it. Cyrus Jones was right on top of it.

Ole Miss’ tipped ball that went for a 66-yard touchdown pass on Saturday certainly wasn’t in the playbook. But now it’s in the memory of every University of Alabama player and those who watched it.

“I mean, honestly, it’s luck, just to be honest,” Robinson said. “No way in the world you plan that, but it’s kind of how it goes sometimes.”

The Rebels were facing third-and-one on the Alabama 34 on their first drive of the second half.
