Arkansas VS 8 Alabama

Location: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL

Game Time:  Saturday, October 10 7:00PM ET

TV:  ESPN

Arkansas, fresh off its first conference win of the season, will head to Tuscaloosa to take on a Crimson Tide program that hushed the media naysayers.  Alabama has already proved once what happens when another program tries to run against its front seven.  If Arkansas is to have a chance it must utilize some form of a passing game to attack the Alabama secondary.  Look for Alabama to build off the blowout in Athens and continue to climb its way back in to the SEC West Division race.  The Alabama-Texas A&M in College Station game looms large.

New Mexico State VS 14 Ole Miss

Location:  Vaught Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS

Game Time:  Saturday, October 10 12:00 PM ET

TV:  SEC Network

Ole Miss was embarrassed last Saturday night and really showed a lack of energy from beginning to finish during their game with Florida.  The Rebels will handle New Mexico State easily, but what to watch for will be how Ole Miss plays from an intensity standpoint.  Will the Rebels come out angry and trying to prove a point, or will they sleep walk through an opponent that presents no threat?  Injuries are abundant in Oxford and many starters will be out.  Will the new starters and backups prove worthy?  This game is something to keep an eye on, considering Ole Miss once had large goals that are now on life support.  Their goals, though, are still attainable.  How the Rebels respond will give a small preview as to how the Rebels will play in conference play from here out.
