So Ole Miss is through the South Alabama gauntlet and didn’t get upset like a bunch of losers. Joy.
Ole Miss’ defense still played like trash for long gamuts. They couldn’t tackle for large stretches of an otherwise pedestrian college football contest. South Alabama ate up the second quarter with a drive that lasted nine minutes and 40 seconds. The Rebs blew coverage, then found coverage, then blew it again. They looked great early then shattered into hair-raising soft butter. God they were bad. They were also kind of good.
We knew this was going to be the case, so maybe such a strident headline isn’t necessary here.
