Alabama Looks at Last Year’s Loss to Prep for Ole Miss

Kenyan Drake will be a huge x-factor in this game for a few reasons. “I think it’s really important that our guys understand that we cannot allow them to make big plays”. The game is in Lexington, and Ithink the streak comes to an end.

Through the first half, only part of Brewer’s plan paid dividends. It is surprising that Speedy Noil is fourth in receptions for the Aggies. The spread seems accurate, and could depend on how Sumlin decides to use both of his quarterbacks. Perry Orth appeared to be a better passer than Conner Mitch. The Gamecocks haven’t opened 1-2 since 2008, but they could if they don’t beat division rival Georgia. “They’ve just done a fantastic job of executing that offense”. USC isn’t a bad running team either. Mullins was paralyzed during a game against Vanderbilt in 1989. Georgia should win, but not by 17 points or more.

LAST WEEK: 4-0 straight, 3-1 vs. line. “We have some good weapons there and have to be sound in our schemes and block some for them because they will make plays if they have some creases”.

There are a couple of nonconference games that could also be interesting – namely Nevada at No. 17 Texas A&M and Texas Tech at Arkansas – but the main storyline of this weekend is that it could be the first “Separation Saturday” in divisional play.

Also, last week, Auburn playing at home versus FCS Jacksonville State played horribly and needed overtime to get a win. “It lets me know my meaning of why I play the game”.

Should Alabama double-team Nkemdiche on the interior to try and create running lanes, watch for inside linebackers Johnson and Christian Bryant to have one-on-one matchups with Henry in the box. It looks like Laremy Tunsil is out because of the ongoing investigation by the NCAA. If Ole Miss is converting third downs all day, it will be a long one for the Crimson Tide defense.

“They like to go fast and line up quick”, Tide senior cornerback Cyrus Jones said this week in a news conference. Arkansas lost to Toledo. If you would like to challenge my picks, comment below or find me on Facebook at Doug Gundlach at Daily Herald. Kelly was almost flawless , completing 20 of 25 passes, leading the Rebels to seven touchdowns on all seven of his drives. This one should be close. Because of that and the injury to Zaire, I have to go with Georgia Tech by 3.

The advanced projection systems like Missouri’s chances to cover the spread this week. Those are two nice wins for the Cougars. Russell Hansbrough isn’t playing, and without Hansbrough, the rushing attack is basically quarterback Matty Mauk. Hail Mary to win against Nebraska…TD pass in the last minute to beat Boise State.

So this game will show us one of two things, is Ole Miss really as lethal as they look?

Alabama players profess to have a short memory, even though theyve lost only four regular-season games in as many seasons.

Follow the road to the 2015 College Football Playoff at The Football Four, our home to rate and debate the nation’s best. Ohio State was clearly the best team in the country by the time last season ended and has the hardware to prove it. “That’s OK. Everyone has to earn their money one way or the other”.

Later in the game, he makes some improvements. Depends on who you ask. Hopefully Fitzgerald and Staley have ample opportunity to conduct their second string QB battle against the second quadrant of Louisiana.

However, strong defense has been a key component in what the Rebels have achieved the last two years. Are there any other leagues among the Power 5 conferences that produce an unbeaten champion, and what happens if BYU and/or Notre Dame were to run the table?

Kelly leads No. 17 Mississippi to 73-21 win over Fresco St.
