A teammate brought up the crazy stat after Henry Ruggs' touchdown vs. Tennessee.

Ruggs was 4-for-4 entering that game. Now, he's 5-for-5.

"When he caught that, someone said that (stat) on the sidelines and I didn't really believe them," left guard Ross Pierschbacher said. "I didn't notice that he'd done that. It's pretty incredible for a young guy to have success like that. And just happy for him. And happy for our offense, too."

It was the continuation of a streak that started against during Alabama's win over Fresno State Sept. 9.

Ruggs has caught five passes this season. All five have gone for touchdowns.

So, despite being tied for just ninth on the Crimson Tide in catches, this freshman wide receiver from Montgomery has three more touchdown catches than anyone else on the team.

Teammates have started calling him "Touchdown City," according to cornerback Levi Wallace.

"Henry's a really great player," tight end Hale Hentges said. "And you guys notice whenever he gets the ball in his hands good things happen."

The touchdown against Tennessee was the longest of Ruggs' touchdowns, a 60-yard catch-and-run that pushed Alabama's lead to 45-7 late in the fourth quarter.

Backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hit Ruggs over the middle about 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Ruggs, one of three freshmen receivers seeing regular time for Alabama, then flew down the sideline for the touchdown.

The streak was immediately referenced on the CBS broadcast. And also on the Alabama sideline, as overheard by Pierschbacher.

"That's big time," Pierschbacher said of the streak. "Just to have talents like we do like that and just to be a deep wide receiver corps has really helped our offense and just given us different looks and stuff like that. So I think it's helped our passing game in the past couple of games, too. It's fun."
