TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – Alabama is not back.
But the No. 13 Crimson Tide at least got off its back side with an old school, 24-10 victory over No. 15 Ole Miss at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday afternoon.

The dependable Rebels (3-1, 0-1 SEC) lost for the eighth straight time to Alabama. And coach Lane Kiffin once again choked in a landmark game.

However, Chubb and the Browns have received a much-needed bit of good news about the severity of his injury.

The San Diego Padres have played their best baseball in the last few weeks of the 2023 season, thanks in part to Manny Machado’s power resurgence.
But the longer they stay alive, mathematically, for the postseason, the more time they’ll miss from one of their best players in the 2024 season.
Machado had one of his best games of the year Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals, hitting two home runs including a go-ahead, game winning shot in the 8th inning. But he’s spoken publicly about an elbow injury he’s dealing with, what’s been described as “tennis elbow.
