No. 2 Alabama loses 43-37 to No. 15 Mississippi

Asked for a timetable on Foster’s return, Saban said he will be out for a while.

It took a couple of games for Alabama to get it going after Ole Miss last season, starting with a 14-13 win over Arkansas.

The Tides silver lining from the latest Ole Miss loss might be showing the fortitude to bounce-back after Quincy Adeboyejo took a deflected pass 66 yards for a touchdown — or for Chad Kellys two long fourth-quarter throwing passes.

Bateman had also played in both games, completing 18 of 25 passes for 149 yards with a touchdown and an interception. We’re going to try to do the right things.

On Monday, Alabama coach Nick Saban announced Foster will be out for “a while” with a severe shoulder injury.

“Well, I can’t predict any of that stuff”, Saban said as he picked up a bottle of soda at the podium. “We kept coming back in the game, but we also shot ourselves in the foot so many times it made it hard to overcome.

The Tide will need all their offensive weapons clicking Saturday, especially the quarterback, because Ole Miss has scored 149 points in its first two games.

Coker accounted for four total touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) against the Rebels. Richard Mullaney is certainly playing very well. “It starts with us as coaches in terms of doing a better job throughout the course of the week preparing guys to be able to go out there and execute better”. “I still say it would be an upset in most people’s eyes to do it here. I think his confidence is growing, and I think he’s the next guy that we need to sort of be the man when it comes to playing receiver and playing with consistency”.

Alabama (2-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) did fight back, salvaging two chances to score a go-ahead touchdown in the final three minutes after trailing by 19 points in the fourth quarter.

Henry, a junior, rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries against the Rebels. Brown recovered the Tide’s first onside kick since 2007, downed a punt at the two yard line and made one special teams tackle. The 12th-ranked Crimson Tide will not get almost that far without correcting a bunch of mistakes. Kickoff has been set for 2:30 p.m. on CBS. The teams last faced each other was in the SEC Championship on December 1, 2012, in which the Crimson Tide won 32-28.
