Ole Miss throws serious shade at Alabama over signal stealing questions
The Ole Miss-Alabama boxscore was an offensive fan’s dream.
The 2 teams combined for 111 points, 1,370 yards and 15 touchdowns, all 3 shattering SEC records. Nick Saban’s defense couldn’t stop Lane Kiffin’s offense, and that was the biggest story of the game. Paul Finebaum credited it to Saban and DC Pete Golding’s inability to schematically stop Kiffin, who was one step ahead.
Following the game, Nick Saban wondered if Kiffin and Ole Miss stole their defensive signals. Linebacker Dylan Moses said the Rebels had to have the signals.
Kiffin, who’s known to be very active on Twitter, responded in his own way Sunday … with a tweet.
FYI when u go as fast as we do we call our play first. Stealing signals wouldn’t help us at all because we are snapping the ball why they were still trying to just line up. #facts #ComeToTheSip @AlabamaFTBL go win the natty @OleMissFB https://t.co/6EvFe8PX4R

On Monday, Ole Miss threw shade at the Tide with a social media video featuring offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby with a highlight of one of the Rebels touchdowns.

The stealing signals excuse was so bogus. Just admit you got outcoached and the defense needs a lot of work.
Maybe people looked way to far into the comment. Trolling at this point, after a loss? Says what about you…
Accusing a team of “stealing signals” without evidence is trolling. Defending yourself against a baseless accusation is not trolling.
Just to make sure we’re on the same page, if a coach and player accuse you of something that diminishes your success without proof or any logical reasoning at all, you just take if you lose? Lol that’s some stupid stuff right there.
It should be pointed out that Saban said it was like they stole their signs. He never said they did steal signs.
