Ole Miss wide receiver Braylon Sanders brought down one of the best catches of the season so far for the No. 12 Rebels in their first drive of the game against top-ranked Alabama.
Facing second-and-19 at the Alabama 35-yard line, quarterback Matt Corral dropped back and searched for Sanders along the left sideline. Sanders lept up, grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it down – all while finding a way to get his foot inbounds.
Here's a look at Sanders' one-handed grab:

Ole Miss ultimately converted that long second down into a first down inside the Alabama red zone, but turned the ball over on downs at the Alabama 6-yard line. However, the Rebels played unafraid, burning more than six minutes off the clock during a 17-play drive.
It's no secret the Rebels have plenty of pass-catching weapons, including Dontario Drummond, who has enjoyed a breakout season after living mostly in Elijah Moore's shadow a season ago. But Sanders and Jonathan Mingo round out a talented group that could give the Crimson Tide defense problems.
