'BAMA DEFENSE SHUTS OUT OLE MISS...

Ole Miss shut down and shut out...
'Bama Defense near perfect in 25-0 win


 

    The effectiveness of the Ole Miss hurry up offense has become nothing more than a myth. The Tide defense pitched shut down the Rebels better than Mariano Rivera with a five run lead. The offense sputtered around for the first half. In the second half the much discussed Crimson running game found new life. The Tide rushed for 254 yards at 6.5 yards a rushing attempt. A lot of that was covered by a 50 yard run by Kenyan Drake. Drake looked like he was shot out of a cannon on a key fourth quarter run which sealed any hope of a time comeback. The way the Tide defense played there wasn't much of a chance Ole Miss could come back. As the game progressed the Tide got stronger on defense.  The final embarrassment to the Ole Miss offense was a safety. It was the only time the Rebels found the end zone all night. About the only offense that Rebel quarterback Bo Wallace could muster up for the game was some pretty ill-advised pregame comments. Wallace boasted that the Rebels would be able to put up points. They put up exactly two when Wallace ran into a Crimson wall trying to escape his own end zone. Once again, Tuscaloosa became the place where dreams die for SEC hopefuls.
