Everybody talks about how Ole Miss scored 48 points against Alabama last season but nobody mentions the 63 Alabama scored. The Tide only punted once in last year's meeting, and fumbled deep inside Ole Miss territory another time. They could've scored 70! Instead they settled for scoring touchdowns on their final eight possessions, and this year they're playing at home. Fun fact: Ole Miss QB Matt Corral's interception rate rises from 1% at home to 7.2% in road games.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin knows how to challenge a Nick Saban defense. He did it last year in a barnburner and will do it again this season. I don't believe Alabama's ground game is anywhere near what it was last year, so expect a contest that will be very similar to the one it played against Florida two weeks ago.
