WATCH: Alabama RB Damien Harris explodes for 75-yard TD on first play of game

Alabama didn’t waste any time in scoring against Arkansas.
Alabama began the game on offense and started things off with a simple run play to RB Damien Harris. Harris, however, turned the run into something special. His original running lane was covered, but one swift cut back put Harris in the open field.
The 75-yard score puts Harris well on pace to notch his third 100-yard game of the season. The long touchdown will also improve on his already impressive 8.5 YPC.
Arkansas began the game as heavy underdogs, and this was not the start the Hogs were looking for against the top ranked team in the nation.
Here is a look at Harris’ score that Sporting News shared on Twitter:
