Old, un-energetic, and Texas bound.

We have run 1/2 of our offense yet. Freeze has been hiding stuff all year. He was hiding stuff for Texas, but never had to use it. I am in NO way saying that we will beat Alabama, but to say that our offense has nothing to hide and we will only score 17 is a joke.

Not a joke at all. Ole Miss will be lucky to get to 17 .

This is a pissed off Bama team after the lackluster CSU game (still took them until the end of the 3rd to cross the 50) and unfortunately for Ole Miss you play us next. This will be a domination game/ a statement game for Bama. I would have given you more of a chance if we played a lot better vs CSU. Still won by 25 and played down. Sorry the game will not be close.

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.

Colorado State by far

Ole Miss is a solid, dangerous team and could win, but I still think the A&M game in College Station should be considered tougher at this point. I'm glad this game is in Tuscaloosa

I agree with this. A&M is the better team and it was at College Station. That was a huge win for Bama.

I do think Ole Miss has a chance to win (its crazy for me even to think that out loud) but I don't think it happens. I agree with the poster that said mistakes will determine who wins and I expect us to be the team to make a mistake. Bama normally plays mistake free football and we're a young team playing in Tuscaloosa.

I expect it to be a 41-24 ballgame. Maybe closer than the score indicates for 3 quarters but bama will stretch it out and the game will be hand by the 4th.

Could be worse is we have our lull quarter like we against vandy and Texas. We have yet to play a complete game and that'll kill us against bama. Maybe we wont do that this weekend and keep it interesting.

Anyway, hoping for a good competitive game to see where we stack up against the number 1 team in the country.

I don't see how Ole Miss is the toughest game to date. I see Texas A&M as being the toughest game to date for Alabama.

On one hand, Texas A&M was and will be the most high-powered offense that Alabama has faced.

On the other hand. Texas A&M was and will be the worst defensive team that Alabama has faced.

No. A&M is a better team than Ole Miss

Very much disagree with the OP. Ole Miss has a better defense than A&M for sure, but A&M has a better offense and the most dangerous player in the SEC in JFF. Not to mention having to play at A&M in the biggest game they've ever hosted, while we get Ole Miss at home.

If our ol does not block, we cannog run, we will
Find ourselves on the short end of the score. Hopefully
The players meeting will litena fire under some asses
