Is the Ole Miss Offense for Real?
The question that will be answered on Saturday is whether or not Mississippi’s offense is for real. They scored 76 points against Tennessee-Martin and then scored 73 against Fresno State. "Obviously when you're scoring 75 points a game, you've got a dynamic offense in a lot of ways," Alabama coach Nick Saban said, "They've got a lot of good players and a good scheme. They do a good job of executing, and they play fast.
"They lead the nation in a lot of categories when it comes to offense." Mississippi has a new quarterback in Chad Kelly who is the nephew of former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly. In his first two starts, Kelly has thrown for 557 yards with six touchdowns and one interception. Ole Miss is the first SEC team to score 70 points in consecutive games since the 1994 Florida Gators.
Tide Looking for Revenge
The Crimson Tide were beaten last year in Oxford, losing 23-17. Alabama comes into this game off wins against Wisconsin and Middle Tennessee State. Alabama may play two quarterbacks on Saturday with Jake Coker and Cooper Bateman seeing playing time. "I think both guys need to improve, and we evaluate this on a day-to-day basis," Saban said. "We're going to make the decision based on what we think is best for our team. If it's to play two guys, it'll be two guys. If we think one guy is going to give us a better chance in this game we'll certainly play that guy."
