What happened on first-play Ole Miss TD and how Alabama responded

One snap. One throw. Boom.

That Vaught-Hemingway voodoo was back as visions of 2014 and 2016 flashed with the first Ole Miss play. It was like that 48-43 game from two years ago picked up where Chad Kelly left it when Jordan Ta'amu hit D.K. Metcalf in stride on the first play of what looked like a typical night in Oxford.

Only that's where it ended.

Play 1 went 75 yards. The next 58 netted 58 passing yards.

Alabama did its part winning 62-7, shutting out the Rebels in the final 59:49 to take a third straight in the briefly wacky rivalry.
