Ole Miss @ Arkansas discussion thread

With Ole Miss coming off a BYE week, and Arkansas licking their wounds after a pounding by Alabama, this year's matchup is poised to be another shootout. Like last year, I think both offenses will have a field day with their counterparts. Expect Austin Allen and Chad Kelly to sling the ball all around the yard until one of the defenses steps up to the challenge.

Don't expect Arkansas to put much pressure on Chad Kelly, as their defensive line has been very underwhelming so far this season. Their DBs will be exposed to the loaded arsenal called the Ole Miss WR corps. Expect Chad Kelly to get a few designed runs to keep Arkansas' defense honest.

Ole Miss will need to step up on defense to contain Austin Allen's gunslinging style. I see Arkansas using Jeremy Sprinkle to create mismatches against Ole Miss' defense and then pound against the Rebels' front with their physical running backs. Arkansas can also throw it around with their experienced receiving corps featuring Dominique Reed, Drew Morgan, Keon Hatcher, and Jared Cornelius.

Arkansas will come into this game hungry to repeat the last two years' performances. Getting 3 in a row vs Ole Miss would boost the confidence of the program as a whole.

Ole Miss will want revenge after last year's 4th and 25 debacle which ruined any chance that the Rebels could reach Atlanta.

It will be a very interesting game. I don't see Arkansas falling apart like Georgia did against Ole Miss. I think Arkansas will compete for three quarters until Ole Miss' defensive line steps up to slow down Austin Allen and the Hogs.

31-45 Rebels.
