Clean Error Free Football

So far thru the first two games the Rebels have played relatively clean and error free football and will need to this Saturday. While the Rebels have managed to avoid turnovers giving up just one fumble there have been times when the Rebels made some mental mistakes which created penalties. We’ve seen unnecessary penalties like lining up in the neutral zone and ineligible lineman downfield calls. While sometimes the mistakes are easy to bounce back from the Rebels have to minimize them Saturday.

Alabama is going to try to take advantage of every mistake the Rebels make and will try to create confusion and turnovers. Ole Miss has to play smart and stay level-headed for 60 minutes. We may not be sure of the outcome of the game but we can be sure of who will get the benefit of every call from the officials. If the Rebels can play smart on both sides of the ball and minimize the mistakes and penalties it will help Ole Miss get the victory.

Next. Closer Look At Bama. dark

Of course it seems everything has to go right Saturday for the Rebels to get the win but it doesn’t. However, if the Rebels can stick to these keys and get a break or two it doesn’t hurt. The good thing  is we don’t have much longer to wait before we find out. Good luck to coach Matt Luke and the Rebels and BEAT BAMA! Hotty Toddy!
