Alabama vs. Ole Miss: SEC Football Week 4 Preview, Prediction

The Rebels travel to Tuscaloosa in a Week 4 divisional rivalry matchup as the Tide look to bounce back from a shaky start to the season. Shockingly, Alabama has way more questions than answers as they head into Week 4.

Alabama vs. Ole Miss: SEC Football Week 4 Preview, Prediction

The Rebels have dealt with significant injuries injuries already this year. Star running back Quinshon Judkins and leading receiver Tre Harris have both missed games already, and their status’ will be crucial for Rebel fans to keep their eyes on. The task of winning in Bryant-Denny Stadium may be too big to conquer without these leaders.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart has looked very sharp in the Rebels’ 3-0 start. His decision making and mobility seem to have taken the next step this year, and Lane Kiffin is loving the electric, turnover-free football that his QB1 has played up this point. This will be his biggest test yet, but let’s be clear that there has never been a question of talent with Dart. This Ole Miss team will go as far as Jaxson Dart’s decision making will take them. If he takes care of the ball, the Rebels will have a chance to win this game.

Tide fans are asking themselves a million questions: Who is our quarterback? Is our defense good? The dynasty isn’t over, right? We can’t beat South Florida on the line of scrimmage?

The dynasty is far from over. They lost one home game. However, the struggles and concern from fans are warranted. This team is far from how good it can be, and the switch needs to flip this week in practice, or else they will lose and Bama’s nightmares will come true. Luckily, their head coach is Nick Saban, and he will have his guys tuned up and ready for a battle on Saturday at 3:30, regardless of who is under center.

Alabama 27, Ole Miss 21

The Rebels want this to turn into a shootout, but the intensity of the Tide will be too much for Lane Kiffin’s offense to handle. Saban gets a season-saving win at home as the Tide RB’s run wild.
