Alabama Looks to Keep Rolling Against Improved Ole Miss

[pmull]

Good article by Outsidethelines.

After racing to 4-0 without breaking a proverbial sweat, Alabama faces something of a mild surprise in week five of the college football season: Ole Miss may not be quite the outright patsy that most had anticipated. The Rebels won't be stamping its ticket to Miami in the near future -- or, arguably, even Shreveport -- but Ole Miss has been something of a pleasant surprise in the opening month of the season.

Freeze hasn't been able to make any of those holes go away in the short-term, and only time will tell if he can have the successes on the recruiting trails and in player development necessary to forge a long-term solution in Oxford. Nevertheless, through four games, Freeze and his staff have done reasonably well working around the biggest roster shortcomings and taking full advantage of what little talent is at their disposal. Their 3-1 record is largely inflated due to a weak schedule in the opening month, but in fairness to Freeze the Rebels have won those three games in relative ease, and a year ago they would have arguably been on the losing end more often than not.
Offensively, Ole Miss will remind many of Gus Malzahn on Saturday night. Routinely operating without a huddle, the new-look Rebels use a variety of formations and spread the field, and pre-snap motion and misdirection are the norm. Despite the spread philosophy, the offense is decidedly run heavy, and the quarterback position provides legitimate dual threat options.

I'll be at the game expecting a beatdown. I hate that the game has been moved to such a late start, but I'm guessing that by the time kickoff rolls around, Bama will be frothing at the mouth to hit someone.

I read where the players were looking forward to a home night game under the lights. The atmosphere is always good at Bryant Denny but it is unreal at night.

The younger one's life style is pretty much nocturnal based anyway, so Bama should be at their best. Now with the older ones, that's a whole different story.

Lol! I hear ya. Maybe we should experiment with a midnight kickoff?

You and Jamos may need an afternoon nap to make it to the 4th qtr.

I'll be there too.  Nap and caffeine sound essential for this old guy.

You old guys (I can say that because I'm one too) will be fine. The stadium will be rocking before the games starts. Once we start rolling it will be fantasic. Your problem is going to be the drive home.

Got a hotel in Birmingham just for the occasion. That nap sounds pretty good right now.

Well, the game isn't quite past my bedtime, but it is close. That is why I am hoping for 70-0 by the third quarter, so I can call it and go to bed. Until 9:15 p.m. (8:15 for CST guys) I have the thrills of ACC football to keep me entertained (ooh, Duke vs. Wake Forest! Somebody pinch me!). ROLL TIDE!!!

It may take 2 hours just to get to Birmingham.

I don't know what your plans are but you are more than welcome to join us at our tailgate.

[Old Tider]

You lucky guys enjoy the game.  Ole Miss has no huddle and no hope.
