Blown opportunity - Ole Miss falls to Alabama after leading at halftime

The Alabama Crimson Tide took all the momentum late in the first half and dominated Ole Miss the second half on Saturday to extend its winning streak over the Rebels to eight games with a 24-10 victory.

Ole Miss (3-1, 0-1 SEC) came into the game with brimming confidence based on comments throughout the week, and early on it looked to be the makings of an upset after Jaxson Dart scampered in for a touchdown and a 7-3 lead in the first quarter. The Rebels defense bowed up admirably throughout the game and held Alabama to six points in the first half.
