Ole Miss might keep this game closer than we expect.

With the 3 starters on offense out, you have to figure Nutt and staff will turn to Brandon Bolden to pound the rock between the tackles and that massive offensive line vs our fast but light defensive line. Lets not forget how good of a back Bolden is. Nutt went away from him this year, even though he had some injuries early in the year, for reasons unknown. Ole Miss probably wins 2 more games this year if they give the ball to Bolden 20-25 times a game. Last year, Bolden went for 100+ against us IIRC, and at home on Senior Day, against the team from his hometown who wanted him at LB/S instead of RB, you know he's primed and ready to go off.

They are young on the outside, but have some decent playmakers at WR. Our CB's are gonna have to prevent separation and make open field tackles. Ole Miss likes to use screens and short, quick hitting routes, mainly because they don't have a very good QB.

If Ole Miss can control the clock with a strong running game and keep it close enough for the crowd to get involved, things might get a liitle hairy in Oxford tomorrow night.
