Ole Miss Rebels Football

This is the most obvious of all reasons why Ole Miss will walk away with a victory. The offense that the Rebels will bring on the field will be one of the best in the SEC. If everything goes the way it should, it will be one of the fastest offenses in the SEC as well.

Quarterback Shea Patterson will be a handful for the Sun Belt defense that South Alabama is bringing. Their young and inexperienced corner-backs are going to be in a match-up nightmare against the fast and strong wide outs the Rebels will bring.

The Ole Miss offensive line will be able to keep Patterson protected. However, I look for the running game to be impressive this weekend. South Alabama will likely focus so much on coverage that Jordan Wilkins and crew will have a field day. They can’t out-score us. We should be able to score at will.
