The third best-possible scenario available in college football happened on Saturday night: Alabama lost.

Ole Miss strolled into Tuscaloosa like it was a 1950s ice cream parlor and choked the life out of the Tide. Above you will find its heartbeat falling all the way to "DEATH."

From FootballStudyHall.com's advanced stats autopsy:

The Rebels' run defense was good, their pass defense was great, and their big pass plays were enormous (and often intentional!). And if Alabama recovers any one of the game's three fumbles, the Tide quite possibly win. But hey ... needing good fortune to win in Tuscaloosa (and pull off two straight wins over Bama for the first time ever) is not the greatest shame in the world.

Was it lucky? Hell, who cares? Alabama lost.
