  12/06/20 - WR DeVonta SmithSr/2021, Alabama

  DeVonta Smith leaped and extended his right arm for a football only he could catch. In the corner of the end zone at Tiger Stadium, the Alabama senior wide receiver pulled down a one-handed touchdown as LSU's best cornerback, Derek Stingley Jr., looked from the ground. Stingley had played almost perfect coverage. Tracking Smith from the outside, he stayed on Smith's upfield shoulder, anticipating a fake post. He turned his hips when Smith broke for the corner. He allowed no separation. He read Smith's body and looked for the ball. And it didn't matter. Stingley fell as Smith elevated.

The catch marked Smith's third touchdown of the first half in his return to his home state. Already the Southeastern Conference leader for career touchdown receptions, Smith shredded LSU's secondary during Alabama's 55-17 win Saturday night, setting a new record for yards receiving (231) by an opponent in Tiger Stadium. LSU had no answers for him. "He's killing us," coach Ed Orgeron said on LSU's halftime radio show. Smith, an Amite native, deserved much of the credit for Alabama scoring its most points ever against LSU. He finished with eight receptions and three touchdowns. He averaged 28.9 yards per catch. He scored two touchdowns over 60 yards. He caused Orgeron to rip off his headset and throw it against the ground. No other Alabama receiver gained more than 70 yards. - Baton Rouge Advocate
