Oh. My. Word.
What a throw!
And what a way to start the game for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
In the first series of the game for Alabama, Mac Jones connected with John Metchie III on 3rd and 8 for an incredible 78-yard touchdown reception.
Coming into this season, Jones was still doubted as to what he would be able to do this year.
Mac Jones finished last season 3-1 as a starter. And by end of the season, Jones had a quarterback rating (186.8) that ranks as the highest of any returning signal-caller (minimum four starts) in the SEC for 2020.
Jones also finished the season with 1,503 yards passing, 14 TDs, and 3 INTs.
WHAT a way to start the game!

Jones to Metchie is a connection we can expect to see all season.
