Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen went rumbling and stumbling 75 yards to the house for a rare pix-six.

The Alabama Crimson Tide didn’t look very sharp in the first half against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday. The second half of the game told a completely different story courtesy of the Alabama defense. As Chad Kelly drove the Rebels the length of the field, an errant pass ended up in the arms of defensive lineman Jonathan Allen.

As the case would be, the big man would start rumbling like a semi-truck down the sideline as the Rebels tried to chase him down. One player was able to tackle Allen at the end, but it was too late, as he was already falling into the end zone.

While it looked like this would be the score that would be the end of the Rebels, it was not to be. Ole Miss would make it a game after a score and a successful onside kick recovery. So this play ended up being a very vital one for Alabama.

At the end of the day, there is nothing quite like seeing a big man get an interception and start running with it. Unfortunately for Ole Miss and Kelly, it was something they would like to forget.
