🏈 ⭐ PRE-GAME: Alabama hosts Ole Miss Saturday afternoon.

As you go back to last season and think, and as you look at their team this season and think, do me a favor and think about this.

Ole Miss was four for four last season in the game in Oxford; context.

Yes sir. Last year, they were four for four on fourth. Context, right?

Ole Miss had a better offense last season. But, we don't see a lot comparing those two.

Don't get me wrong. I've said since summer MC is the best QB in the SEC. But.

Whom among you are weighing defensive effieciency into this game? Anyone looked? (What's that sentence?)

The willingness to play with nothing to lose has seemed to favor Kiffin. Thus, his proclivity to go for it on 4th down. It's incredibly hard to get off the field when these offenses have 4 plays.

3rd down (and 4th down) D is going to be critical. The defense needs negative plays and to be assignment sound. Not getting dinged for a bunch of PI calls on long passes would help.

I don't know if this year's OM offense is better or worse than last year. Not having Elijah Moore or Kenny Yeboah at TE is good for Bama.

I believe they are better on defense this year....ain't saying much compared to last year though, they sucked pretty bad. :)

Sounds like they run more of a 3-3-5 or 3-3-6 approach (odd front, more dropping 8) compared to the 4-2-5 (even front) they ran last year.

The key to attacking this will be the run game has to work between the tackles, and Bryce has to take open WRs shallow or intermediate and not force the ball deep into coverage.

And run when there is open field in front of him.
 
A schedule change has left me unable to watch this game live.... I'm so hurt :sick:

Might have to turn the phone off and record it for later. Not sure if I can last until the evening!

And so many other good games on Saturday... Dang it!

I am in the same boat. Probably best because I can't stand watching games where defenses struggle. Would love to turn on late Saturday and see the Bama D showed out!!!!
 

What’s Going To Happen​

There are two ways this can go.

Alabama decides enough is enough and comes out roaring with a dominant effort to show that it really and truly is the No. 1 team in the country, or this is a firefight of epic proportions that comes down to who has the ball last.

Can Corral pull a Johnny Manziel and take the Heisman with a historic performance with the sports world watching?

Or will this be the moment that Bryce Young sets the tone for the rest of the season for both the Heisman and Alabama?

Both quarterbacks will be great, both offenses will be great, but one defense will come through when it needs to.
