By my count, Alabama had won 30 straight games and 42 of 43 when allowing fewer than 24 points. Well, now it's 42 of 44, I guess. Ole Miss ran the ball about as poorly as I assumed, but Bo Wallace not only avoided disaster but made some plays -- 58 percent completion rate, 13.9 yards per completion, a 50-yarder to Evan Engram, a 34-yarder to Vince Sanders. There was no Bad Bo to be found, and if Bad Bo is on two-month vacation, the Rebs are going to win a lot of games.
(Bad Bo probably isn't on two-month vacation -- he made an extended appearance the week before against Memphis -- but if he also times his appearances well, Ole Miss could still roll.)
