For Bama to win, the 2015 offensive line is going to have to play better than 2014 offensive line did in Oxford last year. Home field and having Kelly back at center will probably help in that regard.

I think Alabama may need north of 200 rushing yards to win.

Can Coker or Bateman keep the Rebel outside defenders honest like Sims did?


Not in the same way. Kiffin will need to call plays that use the speed and aggressiveness of Ole Miss outside defenders against them / keep them honest.

Again, that will have to fall on a hopefully improved offensive line. Also, I think we may have completely abandoned the idea of FGs, so maybe having four downs every set will help our conversion rate.

Yeah, it wouldn't shock me if Saban never attempted another field goal . Statistically, that is probably the smart play regardless of your kicker even if everyone gave Freeze grief about it 2 years ago.


And yes, Kenyan Drake worries me quite a bit. That jet sweep could be the replacement for a mobile QB

Agreed and I think they will get there.
