Published:
Devonta Smith just had himself a day.
The junior receiver just set two all-time Alabama school records on Saturday against Ole Miss after catching nine passes for 248 yards and five receiving touchdowns. No Crimson Tide receiver has ever matched those numbers in a single Alabama game.
The previous record-holder for receiving yards in a game was Amari Cooper, who had 224 receiving yards twice during his Alabama career.
