Ole Miss +5 vs. Alabama
Jevan Snead has thrown 5 picks in 4 games (3 Vandy, 2 Memphis). Snead's 175 yard against Memphis is the fewest they have allowed all season still. Both Fla Atlantic and South Carolina St threw for more yards on South Carolina than Snead.
Meanwhile, the Ole Miss running game produced a measly 3.5 ypc and 3.7 ypc against South Carolina and Vandy respectively.
Oh, and the vaunted Ole Miss run defense was gashed for 4.5 ypc against Vandy. If not for Larry Smith going 10-27 because he is horrible and throws inaccurate rocket balls Vandy probably beats Ole Miss again.
This team earned it reputation in 4 games last year. The upset of Florida, staying close to Bama, beating LSU, upsetting Texas Tech. The thing is though Florida over looked them because they had already lost to Vandy and Wake Forest, the Tide jumped on them early and then quit once they thought the game was in hand (24-3 halftime), LSU and Texas Tech were seriously deflated teams. LSU because of an OT loss to Bama 2 weeks earlier ( they almost lost to Troy 1 week earlier) and Texas Tech because they were in the cotton bowl and not the national championship.
The line has been pounded by Phil Steele nuthuggers who cant adjust and still see Ole Miss as a top 5 team that should maybe even be favored in this game. Its absurd because preseason no one saw McElroy having over 1k yards passing 9 TDs and 1 int (deflected ball). Also very few saw Snead being this bad.
Alabama torches Ole Miss through the air and on the ground. The Ole Miss defense struggles to move the ball on the ground and forced to throw in a comeback attempt. Snead faces relentless pressure and a secondary that out classes his WR's.
