Ole Miss
3 NC's; 6 SEC Championships; 31 Bowl appearances.
The only thing OM has going into this game is the fact they have won the last 2 meetings in Oxford. Needless to say the Ole Miss faithful seem to forget that these 2 games were the only ones they won in a span of about 16 years. Plus, they also forget these 2 were sandwiched in between 3 spankings by the Tide (combined score of 115-21 Ouch!). Not to mention, OM had the best QB they will ever have under center against a heavily sanctioned Bama team.
But, now things are back to normal. I told you guys it wouldnt last long.
This will be a nice warm-up game before the Viles come to town.

The Tide plays somewhat conservative. They try to find their new playmakers since Prothros injury, and look to take Croyle out midway through the 3rd quarter to keep him healthy for next week.
One thing I'd like to point out, Croyle apparently banged his knee up in the Florida game. It shouldn't be a factor on him playing. In fact, I doubt you'll hear much about it. But let it be known that if by some miracle Ole Miss wins, that will be the reason.
