Jimmy what did the Ole Miss loss tell you about the Alabama football team?? I personally didn't watch the game but have seen Ole Miss play and they are the closest thing to a complete football team as I've seen this year. The other three teams being Ohio St, Clemson and to a lesser degree Oklahoma. I noticed that Ole Miss was able to burn the Alabama defense on several explosive plays. Is this something that concerns you being that Clemson has just as an explosive offense as Ole Miss? Ole Miss ranks 2nd in the nation on explosive plays while Clemson ranks 5th. Would like to hear your thoughts as the Alabama defense has proven that they can be beat on big plays if the opposing offense is capable. Alabama ranked 71st in allowing explosive plays this year.

There is one play on this game Alabama minus the points or sit back and root for Clemson. The only way Clemson wins this game is if it turns into an ole miss type of game. Alabama turns the ball over and Clemson makes plays that you talk about for another 10 years.

HERMES, if you ever listen to me, listen to me here. Get as much money as you possibly can on Alabama. This game is a complete class mismatch. Alabama is going to completely dismantle this team in every way possible on national television. At no time will your bet be in peril.

I understand your question about the Ole Miss game, and I may say a bit arrogant when I say this even though it's not meant to be so, but the Ole Miss game has absolutely nothing to do with tonight's game except to say, if anything, tonight's azz whoppin' will be worse because of it.

That said, Alabama gave Ole Miss the game. Out of five turnovers, only one could you possibly say was forced by Ole Miss. Moreover, Ole Miss only hit one legitimate big play for a touchdown , and that was the 24-yard touchdown pass to Treadwell in the 4th quarter.

The 66-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Adeboyejo was not even intended for him. It should have been a pick 6, but the Alabama defender didn't see that ball, and it ricocheted off of his helmet to Adeboyejo.

The 73-yard touchdown pass to Cody Core was the Gus Malzahn illegal pop-pass play where the offensive linemen go downfield to draw the secondary out of coverage, and then pop the pass to the wide open, uncovered receiver.

Here's a snapshot of Ole Miss' scoring drives in the game:

FG - 2 yards (Bama fumbled opening kickoff)
TD - 26 yards
TD - 18 yards
TD - 87 yards ( This is the play that should have been a pick-6 but was the head bounce pass TD)
FG - 49 yards
FG - 51 yards
TD - 82 yards (This was the illegal pop-pass with lineman 7 yards downfield that wasn't called)
TD - 31 yards

What I thought after the game is that Coker is definitely the QB, and that if Alabama doesn't clean up the turnovers and penalties, this is going to be a long season for the Crimson Tide.
