We shall see but I doubt it.
Ole Miss has a good offense but it doesn't cause the same problems A&M did because the key athletes just aren't nearly as good. A&M has a much better OL that offered great protection and could open up holes for getting at least some running game going. A&M has a MUCH better QB that can throw, run, and elude at a level Wallace can't comprehend. The fact that Bama had to be so careful on D to try and contain JFF was a huge factor, not even counting the fact he could run around AA level guys like he was in Middle School. Ole Miss has speed oriented RB's as opposed to power guys. You just aren't going to outrun Bama LB's to the corner on a regular basis. Ole Miss has very good WR's but they don't have a Mike Evans who can simply dominate any DB who is put on him in man coverage.
Defensively Ole Miss is better than A&M but they aren't great. Vandy and Texas both moved the ball on them pretty easily. They also were down in both of those games most of the time. A team like Bama won't wear down, they are far more likely to get stronger as the game goes on.
Bama 31, Ole Miss 17.

Yes you are and if Ole Miss really has the speed they will. 270 lb. LBers can't run sideline to sideline all game. That's why Manziel is so dangerous to them he can out run them.
