I think your analysis is good. If Bo Wallace plays like he has all year, Ole Miss isn't in this game. If he plays well the game is close; if he plays way over his head, Ole Miss might win. . Their D is good and at home it will be even better.
CFN prognostication of Bama vs. Black Bear Rebels
- Thread starter Bama Lee
- Start date
I agree that Memphis is somewhat better than they have been historically. Is there one player on their defense that would start for Alabama's defense? Maybe 1? I just don't see Mississippi scoring more points on our defense than they did on Memphis, for Pete's sake. Maybe they run a kick back or score off a turnover, but still....
Good ball security and limit stupid penalties and I see Alabama winning by two scores, at least.

Using Memphis as a measuring stick for predicting success against us ridiculous. These folks sure are tired of Bama's success.

I may end up being proven wrong but it is no secret what it takes to beat Bama and that is a QB who basically has the game of his life or is an elite talent such as JF or $cam Newton. I'm going by the odds and IMO the odds of Bo Wallace all of a sudden turning into something he's not is very unlikely. I will bring something else to light that isn't getting that much attention. Ole Miss' offensive line isn't having a great year. Their running game has struggled this season. Consequently Wallace has been sacked 7 times and has already thrown 6 picks. Ole Miss' offense has sputtered during chunks of games this season and that shouldn't shock anybody. It is directly related to what I've mentioned above.
Sure, anything can happen but after four games you can get a good idea about "who they are" as a team and Ole Miss isn't some sort of juggernaut. Sure, the pundits are playing them up because people like to see upsets. They like to predict upsets. But if we play our game we will give Ole Miss a beating.

I agree with his opinion of OM giving up 3 turnovers, 2 of which will probably be ints, and Bama will recover one fumble by OM. I even agree with Bama scoring 45. 17 (if not 21) of that should be as a result of the above turnovers.
But no way does OM turn it over 3x and still score 31 against the Tide. No way is our D going to let that happen. No way is CNS going to put up with our D letting that happen.
I'm sticking with my original prediction.
Bama 45 OM 14

This game reminds me a bit of the 2008 Clemson game. Clemson, like Ole Miss, was strong in the skill positions but were not very strong on the line. I think the same held true on defense for them. Not a bad D, but not a show-stopper either. If you recall that Clemson team just had no answer for us up front, especially when we were on D. I think the same will hold true for this weekend. Ole Miss is dangerous and will hit some big plays, but overall I think they will struggle with our O and D lines and that will ultimately be the difference. Also, I think if we are able to run the ball the game will get ugly. We can still win if we struggle running, but I think we will have to sweat it out if that is the case. I'm married to a Rebel and will likely be the only Tide fan at Rebel watch party in Houston, TX; so I want/need us to win this game bad just for my sanity alone
My son the 2x Ole Miss alum says that if we play like we did in our last game & they play like they did in theirs, we will steamroll them. He's a serious Rebel fan & football watcher.
In keeping with the thread title, & in the interest of consistency in labeling, this UA alum predicts a win for the Elephant Crimson Tide Saturday.

Well your scores indicate at least a 4 touchdown favorite which I would take but which is it now?
Gonna be extremely surprised if Bo and his boys find a way to score 31 points. I know they have good receivers etc etc but that's a bit much
An O/U of 76? Really, CFN? Maybe in MSU vs. A&M or OM vs. A&M, but in this game? I have it 31-17 Alabama wins and I was worried that was too many total points.
I feel good about our chances and our big play weapons. Somewhere in the back of my mind Stephen Garcia still comes to mind though. Like someone already mentioned it would take a day like that from Bo Wallace. Thank goodness those days don't pop up very often. RTR!
My prediction is 45-14. But we will win regardless of my prediction by AT LEAST two or three TDs.
