Though Ole Miss will likely be torn limb from limb on Saturday night, there is a degree of satisfaction knowing Nick Saban’s daily lunchtime salad of iceberg lettuce, turkey slices, and cherry tomatoes wasn’t as adequate this week is due to the irritation caused by the silence of Ole Miss and an offense he struggles to solve. In the past two games against Alabama, Ole Miss has piled up 922 yards of offense and 79 points* on a defense with a two-deep roster of roughly 834 five-star players (give or take a few).
*Ole Miss scored 86 points, but one touchdown was via the scoop and score of noted defensive speedster John Youngblood.
