Mississippi State, Alabama linebackers exchange post-game Twitter barbs

Even after Alabama knocked off Mississippi State 31-24, players from both teams continued to debate on Twitter about who was the better team.
It began with Leo Lewis, who wrote that the result was “not acceptable” because the Bulldogs were the better team.
Injured Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson, who missed the game with a foot injury that’s knocked him out for the season, responded with an emoji-filled tweet that seemed to question that opinion.
“Are you blind?,” Lewis replied.
Wilson countered, “You must be if you didn’t see the scoreboard after the game.”
For his part, Lewis contributed four tackles in the game that went down to the wire as Alabama scored the game-winning touchdown with 25 seconds remaining.
The Bulldogs will return to action at Arkansas next week, while Alabama will play Mercer.
Idc, that’s not acceptable.. we were the better team..
