It’s been a tough few weeks for Ole Miss football fans. Twice, Ole Miss has played a marquee, top-10 opponent in front of a captive national audience. Twice, Ole Miss stormed out to a 21+ point lead against these opponents. And, twice, Ole Miss sloppily handed over the lead and failed to hang on. Against Alabama on Saturday, Ole Miss led 24-3 in the second quarter before penalties, turnovers, and a thin perimeter defense gave Alabama a sizable lead late. Ole Miss did mount a more-than-respectable comeback effort in the fourth quarter, but fell by four after Alabama was able to move the ball enough to clock out the game.
