Twitter reacts to Alabama’s wild opening touchdown against Mississippi State
Alabama looks to bounce back off of a rough Week 7 loss to Tennessee and it didn’t take long for the Crimson Tide to reach the end zone.
On Alabama’s second offensive possession of the game, the ball was moved down the field effectively, despite not having star running back Jahmyr Gibbs out there.
Young’s 31-yard touchdown pass to JoJo Earle was just what the Crimson Tide needed to kick off the expected scoring party against Mississippi State.
After having all the time in the world behind a strong offensive line, Young scrambled and found a wide-open Earle in the end zone.
Here’s what fans and analysts online had to say about the beautiful pass.

Could have taken a few minutes before throwing that one
Bryce Young had approximately one century in the pocket, and he made a play. 31-yard TD to JoJo Earle.

... and waits some more
Bryce Young is a bleeping magician.
Waits, waits, waits, escapes late pressure, directs JoJo Earle in the back of the endzone and finds him…. indefensible
Bama TD. XP is good.
Alabama: 7
Mississippi State: 0

He can't be stopped
Bryce Young — you are sensational.
He runs all over, pointing and pointing — and then leads JoJo Earle to a wide-open spot in the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown.#Alabama 7 #MississippiState 0

Heisman winner doing Heisman things
Bryce Young is just unreal. State got some pressure but he evades it by and he finds Jojo Earle for a 31 yard touchdown.
