How a Difference in Alignment Could've Tipped Off Ole Miss's Defense vs. Alabama

Related Topics: Alabama, Florida

If Alabama is within a few yards of your end zone with seven players on the line of scrimmage combining to possess 29 recruiting stars worth of talent, your team is probably not going to stop them. Ole Miss didn’t stop them there or much of anywhere in the 42–21 popcorn-fueled loss that included this Cameron Latu short touchdown catch.

In fact, Florida’s the only team this season to mount a successful goal-line stand (defined here as Bama holding possession inside the 3-yard line) and it’s only because a penalty sent Bama 5 yards backward and opted for a field goal on fourth down.
