Turnovers

I’m sure we have heard the talk from fans of other schools complain when we say the Tide’s mistakes is what beat them, but that is usually the case. With the said, after the first two games with the Rebels, Alabama needs to limit the turnovers.

Last season, the Crimson Tide committed five in the Rebels’ 43-37 win at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The year before in that game that made me start to dislike Katy Perry, an interception in the end zone ended the game to give Bama a loss in Oxford.

These Ole Miss teams as of late aren’t the Rebel teams your granddad used to see or the ones we remember from just a few years ago. The mistakes have to be limited against them.

In the first two games of the season, the Tide has had four fumbles and just one interception from Jalen Hurts on a bad decision. This Ole Miss defense isn’t as good as the past few, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
