With some assistance, Tua just Gatorade bathed a Mr. Butch Jones, who never gave up this many points to Alabama when he was on the other sideline.

Jalen Hurts' first pass is a deflected pick six. Saw blitzer coming, threw it right at him, batted to a big man who rumbled through Hurts to score.

And Tennessee's QB trips over his center while taking the snap for a safety on the first play. What a mess.

TOUCHDOWN: Alabama’s opening drive scoring streak continues as the Crimson Tide scores on an 11-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Jerry Jeudy.
Q1 10:58 Alabama 7, Tennessee 0
If Tua has time, he's gonna find a way to score. pic.twitter.com/233re6o4TA
— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) October 20, 2018
There is a strong crosswind blowing here, and it looked like Tua might have over-muscled his first couple of throws into that wind. Corrected that with the perfect TD pass to Jeudy.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) October 20, 2018
The way he pointed then threw him open!! Jesus
— Alphonse Taylor (@SHANKK50) October 20, 2018
Tua Tagovailoa hits Jerry Jeudy for an 11-yard TD pass.
Tagovailoa is now 5th in school history in TD passes in a season.
Jeudy is t-2nd for most TD receptions in a season at Alabama (Amari Cooper 2012).
— Ben Jones (@BW_Jones) October 20, 2018
It took us over 4 mins to score.
I have concerns.— FunnyMaine.com (@FunnyMaine) October 20, 2018
Tennessee won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. Alabama will get the ball to start the game.
It's time for Bama and the Vols on CBS.

A few updates with just a few minutes left before kickoff:
Walk-on punter Mike Bernier is warming up at Neyland Stadium. Have not seen Skyler DeLong yet.
— Ben Jones (@BW_Jones) October 20, 2018
I’m told that Saban said pregame that Devonta didn’t travel which solves the mystery of why he isn’t warming up with the WR’s. Resting the hamstring.

Alabama has Deonte Brown warming up at LG with the first team offensive line. Lester Cotton has been with the second team.
— Ben Jones (@BW_Jones) October 20, 2018
Alabama DL Raekwon Davis is warming up with the second team defensive line. LaBryan Ray and Phidarian Mathis have been with the starters. Nick Saban said Monday that Davis' playing time should be affected by his actions against Missouri.
