Mac Jones and the Alabama Crimson Tide strike first in the 2020 Iron Bowl against in-state rival Auburn.
Both teams’ first posessions ended as three-and-outs, but Alabama did not let their second time with the ball go to waste.
Jones with a hard pump fake had the Auburn defense move up, thinking the ball was, or would be, thrown. Instead, DeVonta Smith continued running straight, uncovered and scored a 66-yard, uncontested touchdown to put the Crimson Tide up by seven.
Plenty of time left in the game, but the Alabama defense looks promising, and a team now led by offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, due to Nick Saban being home with COVID, this game could get interesting.
