Here are some of the new records for a non-overtime game:
- 111 combined points
- 1,370 combined yards of offense
- 15 total touchdowns

- UA’s 723 total yards are second-most in school history
- Ole Miss’ 647 yards are most ever by an Alabama opponent
- DeVonta Smith tied a school record with 13 receptions
- Najee Harris tied a school record with 5 rushing touchdowns
