Whoo hoo! Alabama was a bit better by every measure than Ole Miss last week, and what we had projected as a borderline DD win, manifested as a 17-point game, with a reborn Tide identity in the second half.
The question now for Alabama is: Can this team carry that momentum over 82 miles across the state line into Starkville, a place that Alabama has traditionally played poorly in, but an opponent that Nick Saban has almost universally dominated?
Let’s go look at the numbers.
Alabama -14.5 at Mississippi State
How close are these teams, really?
