Alabama receiver Derek Meadows took a scary hit and appeared to be briefly knocked unconscious during the team’s 27-24 win over Missouri Saturday afternoon at Faurot Field.

Near the end of the first quarter, Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson threw a pass to Meadows near the right sideline before Missouri safety Marvin Burks Jr. laid him out with a vicious hit.
