Here’s the basic breakdown of Saturday night’s Ole Miss-Alabama game: the Rebels’ historically good offense will probably be able to put up points on the Tide, but a defense that got worked by an FCS school last week is going to hemorrhage points. As an Ole Miss fan, you wish you didn’t have to give the ball back after scoring.
So what if Ole Miss didn’t? What if the Rebels, knowing their defense stands no chance against the bullying Tide attack, kicked onside every time? What if instead of punting the ball into inevitability, Ole Miss went for every fourth down?
