Ole Miss and Southern Illinois contested in a competitive 76-41 blowout Saturday afternoon. At halftime it seemed the Salukis could cash in on a three-point lead and steal a win, but a 41-3 second half in favor of the Rebels ensured the comfortable victory. The result of this game is less important than what it means for next week’s contest against stout Alabama.
- Nick Saban will be pleased with what he sees on film.
Both Ole Miss and Alabama played inferior opponents this weekend, ahead of their week three matchup.
