Alabama added another win to its long streak over Mississippi State with a 56-23 rout in Starkville on Saturday. The Crimson Tide controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides in the Top-25 SEC showdown.

In a star quarterback matchup between Keelon Russell and Kamario Taylor, Russell led the Alabama offense to another big showing. The Tide scored 14 points in each quarter while the defense forced several key turnovers.

Mississippi State managed 23 points across four quarters but could not keep pace. The Bulldogs’ offense found the end zone early before Alabama pulled away in the second half.

The win keeps Alabama unbeaten at 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the SEC. It continues the program’s two decades of dominance in the series.

Alabama will look to carry the momentum forward as the SEC schedule tightens. Mississippi State must regroup after a second straight conference test.

The Bulldogs will need to fix their run defense before the next outing. Alabama, meanwhile, looks every bit like a championship contender with its balanced attack.
