Alabama vs. Ole Miss 2016: Rebels blow another huge lead

No, the game you watched on Saturday wasn’t a replay of Ole Miss-Florida State, though I can understand why you were confused. For the second time in three weeks, a sharp Rebels offense capitalized on mistakes by its top-five opponent to build a three-touchdown lead in the first-half. For the second time in three weeks a late second-quarter touchdown drive fed momentum to the opponent, and for the second time in three weeks Ole Miss came unraveled in the second half.

Twelve days after the Rebs blew a 22-point lead to No. 3 FSU (who was embarrassed by Louisville on Saturday), they coughed up a 21-point lead and lost No.
