Ole Miss vs. Alabama

Final Score: Ole Miss 43, Alabama 37

1. In a wild and crazy game, Alabama turned it over five times and was hit by two huge, long touchdown passes. Up 17-10 early in the third, Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly threw a desperation pass across the line, it went off a helmet, and into the arms of Q Adeboyejo for a 66-yard touchdown. Just when it seemed like the Tide was going to come back into the game on a Jake Coker eight-yard touchdown pass to ArDarius Stewart to pull within six, Kelly ran to his right, drew in the D, and found a wide open Cody Core for a 73-yard backbreaker. A 24-yard touchdown pass to Laquon Treadwell made it 43-24, and enough to hang on.

2. Alabama wouldn’t go away with Derrick Henry running for a two-yard touchdown and Richard Mullaney catching a two-yard touchdown catch to pull within six, but two final drives halted with an interception and then a stall in the final seconds.

3. Gary Wunderlich hit three field goals from 32, 34, 45 yards out.
