No. 11 Mississippi 23, No. 1 Alabama 17: Bo Wallace threw three touchdown passes, including the go-ahead toss to Jaylen Walton with 2:54 left, and Senquez Golson intercepted a pass in the back of the end zone to seal the host Rebels' upset of the Crimson Tide.

Wallace finished 18-of-31 for 251 yards and added 32 rushing yards as Mississippi (5-0, 2-0 SEC) earned its first victory over a top-ranked team and improved to 5-0 for the first time since 1962. Evan Engram had three catches for 71 yards and Laquon Treadwell had five grabs for 55 yards and a touchdown for the Rebels.

T.J. Yeldon rushed for 123 yards and Amari Cooper had nine receptions for 91 yards for Alabama (4-1, 1-1). Blake Sims was 19-of-31 for 228 yards and scored a rushing touchdown for the Crimson Tide.

After a slow start, the Crimson Tide finally put together a sustained drive late in the half, going 68 yards in 12 plays and taking a 7-3 lead on Sims' 1-yard bootleg on fourth down. After the teams traded three-and-outs, Alabama's Cyrus Jones stripped I'Tavius Mathers and returned the fumble 13 yards for a touchdown and a 14-3 halftime lead.

Wallace took over in the fourth quarter, hitting Vince Sanders with a 34-yard strike to tie it and, after the Rebels forced and recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, finding Walton for the go-ahead score. The Rebels had the point after blocked and watched Alabama drive toward the winning score before Golson picked off Sims to seal it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Alabama lost RB Kenyan Drake to a gruesome leg injury early in the second quarter. … Cooper (156) moved into third on Alabama's all-time receptions list. … Ole Miss has forced a turnover in 28 consecutive games, the second-longest active streak in the nation.
