WATCH: Cyrus Jones puts on a show with 69-yard punt return for TD
Struggling to find some offense early in the contest at Mississippi State, Alabama looked to its special teams unit for some production.
Starting defensive back Cyrus Jones fielded a punt early in the second quarter, and took it back 69 yards for a touchdown. After making the first man miss, Jones was virtually untouched en route to the endzone.
It was an explosive play for the senior out of Baltimore -- and one which his team desperately needed.
