The Alabama Crimson Tide went 14-1 last season, with an average margin of victory of 29.2 points per game. Only one of the Crimson Tide’s wins was decided by single digits, and that was their 48-43 victory on the road at Ole Miss. Meanwhile, it was a different Magnolina State team that was Alabama’s most lopsided win from 2016.
And that leads us to no. 51 on the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.
Alabama Crimson Tide scored 51 points in their 51-3 win over Mississippi State in 2016
The 51 points were the third-most by Alabama last year, behind their 54-point total against Florida and their 52 points against USC.
