Alabama head coach Nick Saban improved to 29-3 against former assistants and 5-0 against Lane Kiffin.A third-quarter play summed up Ole Miss’ offensive effort. Facing third-and-long after a dropped pass, Jaxson Dart was forced out of the pocket. As he scrambled, two Alabama defenders were tackled to the ground, drawing two holding penalties. Yet, Dallas Turner was there to clean up the sack anyway.
Dart was second nationally with 12.5 yards per pass attempt and settled for 6.97 against Alabama . He also managed just 6 running yards. The Tide defensive line welcomed back Jaheim Oatis and controlled the pace of play after Ole Miss scored an early touchdown. The Rebels finished three-for-14 on third downs.
With Milroe now cemented as Alabama’s starting quarterback, the offense looked like it did the opening two weeks of the season, just with fewer turnovers. He finished with 225 passing yards , 26 rushing yards and one score.
