Despite the fact that I'm going to trash talk all week
, I'm not exactly confident about this game.
I think that Ole Miss does have the talent to win... I'm just not sure this program/team/staff are really ready to step up to the big stage.
That said, my feeling is that this game could easily turn into a defensive slug fest. Ole Miss' front seven is good enough, I think, to contain (not stop - just contain) Alabama's running game and I think the secondary is the best the Tide will face all year. On the flip side, I just don't see how Ole Miss is going to run the ball
at all against Alabama's front... the Rebels will end up being one dimensional which is never a good thing against a Nick Saban coached defense.
I can easily see this ending up a 17-14 type game despite both teams' fairly lofty offensive stats so far.
Oh, by the way... what do you think of one of the Gameday signs I'm making for some people (I'm not even getting to go to the game... how terrible is that):
