Wow, might be 'Ole Miss's night.  QB just bobbled the shotgun snap (or more accurately batted it straight up in the air), then caught it, then heaved the ball as he has getting crushed by 'Bama lineman, into traffic, bounces off his receivers hands, Alabama defender's helmet, bounces up into the hands of another receiver, who takes it 66 yards to the house.  Unbelievable.  Like that Auburn TD a couple years back.

That was absolutely nuts.

Wow, crazy stat.  Since Nick Saban took over at Alabama, they have been favored by less than 7 points only 3 times.  They lost all of them outright.
 
They were favored by 6.5 tonight.

I know he's a BB disciple and he never had a QB in Miami but I don't think he's an upper tier coach. Good recruiter no doubt.

I still don't really like that rule.  I feel like the ball's release point should need to be behind the line of scrimmage.

That seems like a horrible idea. That would be incredibly hard to call, even on reply. Right now, it's usually obvious; they rarely miss it live.

I was guilty of this too, but we really overrated this edition of the Crimson Tide. If Vanderbilt had this resume, they wouldn't be anywhere close to #2.

Bama sucks and ND just has to win two challenging games the rest of the way to be in the playoff.

Awesome Ole Miss/Alabama game, but that should end it at long last.

 'Ole Miss once again got about a half of a yard extra on that spot from the same official that's been boning Alabama with spots all night.  Asking for the review might cost them a half of a yard.  It should.
