Ole Miss Football: Five Rebels Who Will Show Out Against The Tide

Jordan Ta’amu, QB

While Bama quarterback Tau Tagovailoa has received most of the media hype heading into Saturdays game the Rebels quarterback Jordan Ta’amu sits quietly in the background as the SEC passing leader. Thru two games Ta’amu has completed 45 of 65 attempts for 784 yards and 7 TDs without throwing an interception. Besides being very accurate with his passes he has also been very poised and well protected. Ta’amu hasn’t really faced a great amount of pressure which will likely change. Bama might have more trouble with Ta’amu running loose than with him resting in the pocket.

Ta’amu is surrounded be a very good offense which is loaded with weapons and if Ta’amu has time he will pick the inexperienced Bama secondary apart. The biggest factor in determining the success Ta’amu has Saturday will be the talent and experience of the NWO. They aren’t just good enough to get open but can make the tough catches when they have to. Ta’amu hasn’t really faced a great amount of pressure which will likely change. Ta’amu is very mobile and can throw on the run. Bama might have more trouble with Ta’amu running loose than with him resting in the pocket.
