The Tide struggled on the ground in the conventional sense against the tough Mississippi State defensive front.
However, courtesy of a 56-yard touchdown by Julio Jones via speed sweep and a Mark Ingram 78-yard touchdown reception which was nothing more than a glorified toss sweep, Alabama was able to score in an unconventional manner.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Crimson Tide stymied the State offense time and time again.
Safety Robert Lester recorded two interceptions against the Bulldogs and was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts.
Alabama held Mississippi State to only 299 yards of total offense.
