Adam: you are telling me
So now I know. As suspected, I am not disappointed.
It's Sunday, so I guess you know what comes next...
The 22-3 win doesn't describe Alabama's domination
By Paul Gattis -- The Huntsville Times
"OXFORD, Miss. - This was cold. This was ruthless. This was relentless.
This was a 22-3 win that could not have been more convincing as a 50-0 blowout.
Alabama pounded Ole Miss without conscience, without regard to the largest crowd in stadium history, without concern for the growing notion that the Crimson Tide may indeed be the nation's best.
Do not be fooled by the score. Do not think Alabama is vulnerable.
Alabama, in football terms, killed Ole Miss on Saturday. To have done it by a more lopsided score would have been overkill.
And once was enough.
"We just play our ball," defensive tackle Terrence Cody said. "We don't showboat. We just go out, execute and play our game."
Name your score and it would have been a misnomer. Alabama 22, Ole Miss 3 was dominating, suffocating and captivating.
Even Alabama coach Nick Saban, Mr. Gloomy himself, did everything but bring a thesaurus to his postgame press conference to heap praise on his team.
"We really competed for 60 minutes in the game," Saban said. "We played hard, played physical. Everybody sold out for the team. That's great."
More Saban: "Great effort. Man, I can't tell you how proud I am of the effort and the toughness and the competitive character that our players showed in this game."
Remember that the Rebels once had a cause. They once were ranked No. 4 in the nation, once charmed more than one genius into thinking they could win the SEC West.
But the Crimson Tide stormed into Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and reminded Ole Miss who is boss.
Ole Miss scored its fewest points in a game since the dreary days of Ed Orgeron during the 0-8 SEC season of 2007. Ole Miss had 19 yards on 22 plays in the first half. Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead threw four interceptions.
"This was probably the most complete tam win we've had this year in a difficult situation," Saban said.
This was a chilling performance on a chilly day, despite its imperfections.
"We've always got to get better," linebacker Rolando McClain said. "I never feel satisfied with what I do. I don't think my teammates do. I think they've bought into it, that we can always get better."
Line 'em up and Alabama will knock 'em down: South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU, Mississippi State, Chattanooga, Auburn.
Only Alabama, it appears, can stop Alabama at this point -- no matter what confidence the benign score of 22-3 may falsely feed to the rest of the SEC.
"We ain't worried about the score," McClain. "As a defense, we're just out there trying to stop the offense and I think that's what we did. "
A flaw? The offense failed to score a touchdown on five trips inside the Ole Miss 20.
"Unacceptable," tailback Mark Ingram said.
And self-awareness is why Alabama is a cold, ruthless, relentless team.
"The key to the drill is, Can we stay focused on dong the things we need to do to improve to be as good as we can be and not get complacent?" Saban said. "That's the key to the drill."
And the key to drilling one team after another.
Because, at this point, evidence screams only Alabama can stop Alabama."
