It wasn’t pretty in the first half, and Alabama trailed 24-3 at one point before turning it on in the second half and winning 48-43.
The Crimson Tide controlled the ground game and rushed for 334 yards and racked up 492 yards of total offense. However, the most important thing is Alabama snapped Ole Miss’ two-game winning streak.
Here’s what Nick Saban said after Alabama’s thrilling win over Ole Miss:

Saban: "We got coaches getting IVs. Players getting IVs. But the old fellow doesn't need an IV cause they don't make 'em like they used to"

Saban: ArDarius Stewart is questionable going forward with a knee sprain.
Minkah Fitzpatrick and Eddie Jackson should be fine.

Coach Saban liked way his team ran the ball today…said they needed to throw it better but mentioned Jalen Hurts may have sprained wrist

Saban: "Ole Miss has a really good offensive team & Chad Kelly is a great player. This game was so wild & wooly. Difficult game for coaches"

Saban: "I think our players knew about the Florida State game with Ole Miss. We knew we just had to keep playing a 60 minute game."

Saban: "People who quit can't overcome burdens. I asked our team if they really loved each other, they can accomplish anything."
