Eddie Jackson punt return puts Bama back in it against Ole Miss

It was looking bad for Alabama, 24-3 bad, but the Tide drove for a touchdown to cut the lead to 24-10 late in the first half. Then the defensive forced a punt and safety Eddie Jackson took over.

.@AlabamaFTBL is right back in it!

What a punt return by Eddie Jackson. 85 yards to the house. https://t.co/2m371z2hhb

From someone who covered this Bama team for years: beware of throwing dirt on them until the last second on the clock. #boaconstrictor

There were two flags on the play and after watching the refs basically give away a touchdown to Ole Miss earlier it looked like they were about to strike again. Both flags were mercily on Ole Miss, the touchdown stood, and Alabama is right back in it.

Ole Miss leads Alabama 24-17 at the half.

Update: Alabama would hold on to beat Ole Miss, 48-43
