Well, this is exactly the kind of start Alabama wanted.

The first play of the game turned out to be a 50-yard completion from QB Tua Tagovailoa to WR DeVonta Smith, and RB Damien Harris later punched it in for the 7-0 lead. It looked too easy.

Heisman-winning QB Kyler Murray then took the ball on offense and was sacked twice on the first drive. The Sooners then punted after going three-and-out.

Alabama then marched eight plays in 55 yards down the field for the quick 14-0 lead.

QB Tua Tagovailoa is 6-of-6 for 108 yards and one TD.

How ugly is this going to get?
