- Can Yeldon get going? We've had trouble running between the tackles, and Yeldon is under 5 YPC on the season after an abysmal rushing performance vs Florida. Ole Miss has a good front, can Yeldon get back to form? If not, and Henry/Drake are running well, will we feed the hot hands?


I think that the better question is will the Oline be able to block for Yeldon. Yeldon had nowhere to run against UF. He was constantly having to side step people in the back field.

- Their secondary is legit. I know, Cooper put up 200 on Florida of all defenses. But these guys are good too, and they probably have better Safeties to take away those deep balls AND maybe the middle of the field. If they press and stop our screens, they MIGHT be able to limit Coop. Can White, Howard, and Drake pick up the load in the passing game?


I predicted Cooper to have another good game in the prediction thread, but if I were to be completely honest, I would say that our other WRs will have to carry the load this weekend. I think they are going to do everything they can to stop/limit Coop. I do think that the other guys are highly capable, and I think they will put up good numbers if Cooper cant.

quote:

- Blake Sims has never started a road game. Oxford would be wild for this game no matter what, but with GameDay coming to town for the first time, they'll never stop shouting. We've already had communication trouble at home. I'm worried we may have even more of a problem in Sims' first road game. Hopefully during the bye week the offense spent a LOT of time on this.


This will be interesting, but the good thing is, Sims seems to handle pressure/mistakes very well. He hasnt cracked yet when he could have easily. I have faith in him because of this.

quote:

- Right Guard. If Leon Brown starts, I think we're in trouble. Nkemdiche will line up on him all day long. And the crowd noise will really hurt things on the OL against a tough front.


I think that even if Brown starts, he will have a short leash.

quote:

- And finally, who will be our corners? Is Jackson healthy? Does Saban think Tony is ready? Ole Miss has big receivers and I think we need both Tony and Eddie on the field against that size.


I really hope Jackson is healthy. I have faith in Jones too, but I would like to think that Brown will be ready when called upon, if he isnt going to be starting.
