Bama's got QB & kicker problems and they know it. Given their past performance, coaching staff, and the quality of athletes at their disposal I wouldn't leave them for dead against any team....BUT....statistically Ole Miss looks like a friggin GREAT road dog in this game.

The last time we won in BDS Billy Brewer was our head coach.
It doesn't matter what happened twenty years ago. I'm talking about right now. Ole Miss beat Bama last year and they have only improved since then. Bama has regressed.

Bama's depth at DL should help. If no Tunsil, your line will be exploited. However, I do think OM has a better line then most give them credit for.
I think it also plays to Bama's advantage that Chad Kelly has not started on the road yet. Also, he hasn't had to face any adversity.
Jaylon Walton won't do very well unless he has space via screens, etc. Chad Kelly will have to win this game through the air.

I'm actually perfectly calm, but I don't understand your reasoning. The secondary has been a total liability over the past two seasons. When I look at how they've performed against truly elite passing in recent years I see 44 points allowed against Auburn in 2014, 42 points allowed against Texas A&M in 2013. Saying they need to play their best game against a team that has been passing the ball the way Ole Miss has seems perfectly rational to me, unless you expect Coker to be able to match their pace.

Mississippi has great players on defense but could be susceptible to a run heavy game plan that wears down the defense over the course of the game. Even last season Alabama had success running until Ryan Kelly and Kenyan Drake were both injured. The offensive line along with Henry appear to be better equipped this season to dictate the flow of the game this season. Coker's tendency to be late on throws could be an issue but I suspect the coaches will build a gameplan that emphasizes getting the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible.
Through two games Alabama's secondary has shown significant improvement over last season and Kelly is still something of an unknown quantity against a talented defense. It's not likely that any team will find much success running against Alabama but Mississippi could have some success in the passing game against the LBs. You could see Alabama make adjustments even in the Wisconsin game to slow that down though I'm sure OM will still try to exploit that.
If it comes down to kicking we're fricked but if we can control to game with a steady diet of Henry and a few explosive plays from Drake and the WRs I like our chances.

You're mistaken about this, I believe. Last year was Bama's worst team since 2007. They're worse at quarterback, right tackle, and wide receiver, and special teams has regressed. But that's about it IMO.

I don't think we've seen enough to say this definitively. The defense looks to have improved quite a bit even if our passing game isn't up to par. The running game is also much better than last season's.
OM will be by far our biggest test so far and will tell a lot about where both teams are here early in the season.

Because we're playing Ole Miss. 51-9-2

They have blown the doors off of two bad teams. I'm not saying that OM isnt good, but lets hold off on the assumption that they are a super explosive passing team.

Better question: Will fans rush the field when they stomp that arse?
Posted on 9/13/15 at 6:57 pm to DingDongEddieStrong
I honestly don't like the matchup for Bama. If we don't get some pressure OM receivers will run wild on us. However I do think Bama can possibly stop your run game with a nickel or maybe even dime defense. Hoping home field advantage pulls us through.
Posted on 9/13/15 at 6:57 pm to DingDongEddieStrong
Alabama will win close, because Bama has far more depth on defense than OM...
It's whats best for the conference, (Did you know the conference head quarters are 45 minutes from BDS?)
The REC has an understanding with officials on all games played at BDS, and Coker may play better than what he is for once.

Possibly? No team not named OSU ran for shite against our front 7 last year, and this is the better version of last year's front 7. Why will they have any problem at all stopping OM's run game?

They've looked like a very good team. Doesn't matter who you play, 70 points is impressive. Kelly's numbers are the most impressive amongst conference quarterbacks.

So you agree that they've been bad the past two seasons? Because my thesis was that the secondary needs to play better than they have at any point in the past two seasons. That wouldn't really be saying all that much in my estimation.

I hope you're right about that, but I would wager you're in a minority in that prediction. I think the offense will perform well, but I don't expect a lot from Coker all season to be honest.
