If Bama played 10 games against OM this year the results would be...

Bama 9 wins

Nah, disagree. Probably more like 50-50 in Oxford.

Especially when we had to throw Bozeman to the wolves. And Ole Miss is literally the wolves. Couldn't of happened against a worse group, especially on the road.

But hey, that's football. He will be better next year for it.

Yep, plus there is a reason our last recruiting class was overloaded with Linemen. Stoutland left the cupboard pretty bare and that has been apparent in our last 2 years rushing the ball.

This plus Alabama is pretty inconsistent running the ball to begin with.

Something I might be overthinking this, but I think the timing of the run plays was abysmal and Kiffin mind fricked himself. They ran well enough in the first half, but couldn't match it in the second. The way the game was going, it wouldn't have hurt to try to come out and establish the run again, even if it wasn't working quite as well. Instead, it seemed like they abandoned it a bit. I remember a drive where they finally pounded the ball 3 times in a row but went 3 and out. Seemed like Kiffin freaked the frick out after that.

Sims could have really helped though if he wouldn't have derped some of the short throws(that would have acted as an alternative to the run) like he did.

Alabama really screwed themselves at times, but got lucky as hell too. Ole Miss made the plays to win the game.

Yep. And Alabama did not.

Very similar to 2013 Auburn game.

Dude could coach them, but couldn't recruit them. So far Cristobal can recruit them, we will see if he can coach them.

What rod? I'm just using a cane pole. It's just sorantable. No need for the good stuff.

We would have won that game by three touchdowns, but Drake got hurt, and the entire Bama team was unmotivated after getting that free touchdown from the blown facemask call. After that, our minds just weren't in it.

Refs screwed us.
