WATCH: Alabama strikes first with a Bryce Young TD pass to Slade Bolden

Bryce Young delivers a strike to Slade Bolden to put the Tide up 7-0 early in the Cotton Bowl

No. 1 Alabama opened the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic with a physically dominating first drive. The Tide capped off the drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Bryce Young to Slade Bolden.

The touchdown pass was the only passing attempt that Young had on the drive as Alabama leaned on Brian Robinson Jr. for 37 yards on six carries.

If Alabama can continue its dominating rushing attack, it will be a long day for the Bearcat defense.
