The Crimson Tide head to Starkville for Saturday night showdown.
Jalen Milroe and Alabama’s offense busted out of the doldrums in the second half and the Crimson Tide’s defense was strong throughout in a 24-10 victory over Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide scored 18 points in a 14-minute span — one more than the team managed against South Florida last weekend — to pull away from the Rebels. It was the SEC opener for both teams and they’re both 3-1. Milroe passed for 225 yards. The Rebels’ Jaxson Dart threw for 244 yards.
Mississippi State, in a 37-20 loss to South Carolina returned to the kind of Air Raid passing attack the Bulldogs used under coach Mike Leach, who died in December. Will Rogers threw for a career best 487 yards and Lideatrick Griffin set a school record with 256 yards receiving on seven catches.
