I don't have to tell you why you should watch this game. In my opinion it is the SEC game of the week not Florida and LSU. Alabama really deserves to be number 1 after what they have shown week in and week out, but they finally meet a defense that can live up to what they put on defense. Alabama is due for a let down performance and this is back to back road games in the SEC and they showed many weaknesses in their run defense last week something Miss will surely take advantage of. If you remember week 1 the only other time Alabama faced a pass rush Vtech did a pretty good job of getting into the backfield. Now in Miss you they will see the best pass rush all season and what the Tide's QB McElroy does against it will be the key to the game. The combination of Lockett and Hardy will be too much for Alabama and they will force some turn overs like they did against Florida last year. They have 18 returning starters from last years team that upset Florida. I believe they shut down Alabama's Mark Ingram as they have they are among the top teams in rush defense. This is really Miss's first home game since being on the road 4 of their 5 games already and the key loss to South Carolina in the SEC is only fueling the fire for this Alabama game. I expect Mississippi to finally put it all together for 4 quarters in an outright victory over Alabama this week!
