VIDEO: Alabama's Cyrus Jones goes off for 69-yard punt return TD

It's not surprising that special teams opened the scoring in Saturday's marquee matchup.

After Mississippi State's start was comprised of being stuffed on the goal line and missing a field goal, Alabama made the Bulldogs pay.

To begin the second half, Alabama punt returner Cyrus Jones caught the punt and took it back 69 yards to the house to put the Crimson Tide up by seven.
