Terrion Arnold knew the interception was coming, and in the process, helped Alabama football win its conference opener.
cornerback had recognized the setup from a play the Rebels ran in the first half on Saturday. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin used the same design to cause Arnold to temporarily hesitate on a deep ball. But on the re-do, Arnold didn’t even need to read the eyes of quarterback Jaxson Dart. Arnold drifted near UA’s 5-yard line and beat Wade to the ball for his first interception of the season.
In the end, Arnold’s takeaway and return to midfield sparked and set up No. 13 Alabama for a win in its conference opener over No. 15 Ole Miss . The turnover came a drive after the Rebels missed a field goal and trailed by three points. The Tide was able to match the defense with a complimentary six-play, 59-yard drive that ate up 2:38 of the clock.To start the putaway possession, UA quarterback Jalen Milroe found Kendrick Law and Isaiah Bond for first-down completions.
“He tough. He tough,” Chris Braswell said of Milroe. “He get in the weight room, too. ... he lifts with oomph.” On the ensuing kickoff, running back Jam Miller popped the crowd with a big tackle. The pro-Tide fans erupted and even though the play was reviewed and Miller ejected for targeting, a message had been sent to Ole Miss.
