Against Ole Miss, Alabama faces its second statement game of the season

Alabama is 2 -1 on the season after a loss to Texas in Tuscaloosa and an uninspired slog of a win over South Florida .

The team called a dreaded players-only meeting Monday to get, as guard Tyler Booker put it, “all on the same page now” Alabama ’s offensive line is as stout as a weathered picket fence.

Kiffin knows firsthand what he’s talking about.

He was the offensive coordinator back in 2015 , which — until this week — was the last time Alabama fell outside the top 10 .

The Tide did after that was run the table right on through the national championship.
