Bama has superior coaching and talent.


Superior depth, for sure. You can't just say "Bama is more talented" when talking about the 1st string. OM has better receivers & tight end (OJ Howard's a freak, I know, but he hasn't produced). Your linebackers are monster run stuffers but are slow in coverage. I like how our passing matches up against your secondary.

You've got a great DL against the run but they don't put enough pressure on QBs. Also, your DL is a natural 3-4 but you mostly have to play a 4-3 against a spread team like OM.

Our DL is salty and loaded with seniors and juniors in the 2-deep. Henry couldn't do squat against us last year. I'm more worried about Drake.

I'm confident that our secondary will be better than yours.

Your OL will be a lot better, of course, except at LT (and Robinson is still elite even if not good as Tunsil).

All of that said, I don't blame Bama for being confident given OM's record of futility in Tuscaloosa.

Passing




Only because of what Wallace did to Bama last year. You're assuming that Treadwell and your other receivers will remain dominant and thus make the QB look better than he really is. Ole Miss' passing game is no better than Bama's as both have somewhat unknowns at the position.

ALSO, do you really believe your defense will do that well? The strength of Ole Miss last year was the secondary. Alabama was a pass heavy team last year. Assuming what Nick Saban wants in our offense comes to fruition, the secondary of Ole Miss shouldn't factor in. Alabama will be a run heavy team this year.

Sure I can say Bama is more talented 1st string. It's true, OM has a few players that would start at Bama but overall Bama is more talented 1st, 2nd and 3rd string. 5 #1 classes vs. Your 1 top 5 class and few top15. No comparison

While Treadwell is a great player he is coming back from an terrible injury, like Drake for Bama. But Bama has some very good WRs, not experienced but damn good. The past 2 years #1 5* WRs are on Bama, Adarius Stewart is gonna be a star, OH, and add Drake into the mix as Rb who also plays WR and that is a very good group and better overall than OM.

Drake will be every bit as effective as Yeldon and in the #1 5*rated Rb Damien Harris and Bama is stacked again.

I see you are repeating the old LSU mantra about Bama lbs being slow. LOL you have no Idea what you are talking about if you believe Bama has slow Lbs.

The secondary will be much improved. Just go look at the roster and amount of talent Bama has signed the past 2 classes. 6 5* DBs.

I don't know why I'm explaining all this to you as you obviously don't know squat about bamas team makeup for this upcoming season. I will just sit back and laugh as Bama pummels your team this year. Like I said it might be a little close first half but in the second half Bama will dominate your Pretender of a team
