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.
