Week 6 Alabama vs.. Ole Miss

OK Friends, It’s Alabama & Ole Miss.

This was supposed to be the battle for the SEC west title (Don’t make me laugh)! But to be fair, we will just have to wait & see.

Now to the game….

Alabama came out on their first drive and went 3 and out. Ole Miss took the ball and moved it down the field, but Justin Woodall intercepted Snead killing the Rebels drive. After Bama & the Rebels traded the ball back & forth, Bama moved the ball with runs by Ingram & Richardson, and passes to Peek and Jones. After their drive stalled, Bama kicked a 25yd field goal to take a 3-0 lead after the first quarter.

In the 2nd quarter, Alabama’s Arenas stopped the Ole Miss drive on the Ole Miss 30yd line. Bama didn’t move the ball much and Tippin kicked a 21yd field goal giving Bama a 6-0 lead. Later in the 2nd quarter Alabama had Ole Miss backed up deep in their own territory when Corey Reamer blocked a punt setting Bama up on Ole Miss’s side of the field.

But again, Bama had to settle for a 22yd field goal by Tippin. The score 9-0. As the half was running out, Bama with the ball, 4th and 1, Mark Ingram broke a 36yd run for a TD making the score 16-0 at the half.

Now the 2nd half….

Ole Miss got the ball to start the 3rd quarter but did nothing with it. Bama’s first drive in the 2nd half ended like it did to start the game, 3 and out. Ole Miss showed signs of life on their 2nd drive, but had to settle for a 25yd field goal, The score now: Bama 16-Ole Miss 3. Later in the 3rd quarter, Corey Reamer recovered a fumble on a punt and Bama drove the ball into the red-zone but had to kick a 26yd field goal, making the score 19-3.

In the 4th quarter, Ole Miss trying to get into the game, driving the ball into the red-zone when Kareem Jackson picked off Snead and returned it 79yds to the Ole Miss 20yd line.

But on the next play, Trent Richardson fumbled the ball. But again, Ole Miss could do nothing with the ball. Alabama would move the ball but didn’t score late in the 4th quarter. Ole Miss, again moving the ball, Snead throws an interception the Rolando McClain.

Bama moved down field where Tippin kicked a 31yd field goal to end all scoring, making the final 22-3.

In closing, today’s game was a bloodletting, with Alabama’s defense picking off Snead 4 times.

 

Alabama’s offense was not as strong as usual because they were in the red-zone 4 times and had to settle for 4 Leigh Tippin field goals.

But Mark Ingram had a great day with 173yds on the ground and one TD.

So now I hope that America can see that Ole Miss is not worth all of the hype they have gotten and realizes that the SEC west title runs through Tuscaloosa not Oxford. So Friends, have a great night and always remember …….

ROLL TIDE!
