A little misdirection and a few downfield blocks paired with Amari Cooper's speed created the perfect scenario for Lane Kiffin's first play call back in Neyland Stadium. And for the second time this year, Alabama had a huge play on its first offensive snap en route to the 34-20 win. The 80-yard touchdown from Blake Sims to Cooper set the Alabama sideline on fire, though nobody matched the offensive coordinator's excitement. Kiffin briefly sprinted next to Cooper as he streaked by the Tide bench. "He said he almost beat me to the touchdown," a smiling Cooper later said... Nice story. Worked like a charm! #+ Title: Re: "The story behind Alabama's first-play touchdown, Lane Kiffin's sprint and why it frustrated Ten Post by: Chechem on October 26, 2014, 07:47:58 PM Also mentioned in the story:
Quote Another starter, Christion Jones, was injured in warmups. Saban said he tweaked a hamstring before the game and couldn't get loosened up to play. Chris Black started in his place. "I don't think it's that bad," Saban said. "But we'll have to see."

Yeah, we discussed it during the in-game thread, Nobody knew where Christion was, or why he didn't play. :dunno: |
