Ole Miss comes in undefeated to a shaky looking, 2 win alabama. And it must be asked, can the lower ranked team win? To be fair to alabama, it is a home game, but to drop my snarky act for a moment I'm gonna genuinely ask: would the normally boisterous home crowd remain a factor in a early 2 possession deficit? I know I'm tempting fate a bit here, but it's with another team so I think I should be fine.

Lol, I love the trash talk.

In all seriousness, this is probably Kiffin's best opportunity to beat the tide, and he knows it. Did everyone catch the egregious trolling he's been doing this week? I know that's his thing, but this week he really laid it on thick with two distinct shots at Saban and has doubled down on them. I don't think he goes that hard if he didn't think he had something up his sleeve.

And if anyone missed it, the first was a snarky comment suggesting Alabama had secretly demoted their DC which Saban rebuffed. The lede on that story might be a bit buried, as Kiffin also said "it ain't no secret, people in these buildings know each other, so we obviously got some information that way, too". If true, that's a bombshell (but in all likeliness, it's just some Kiffin trolling). The second was a tweet which goes into a whole Taylor Swift rabbit hole...

And the whole rowdy crowd in Tuscaloosa is overblown (yes, I am milking Texas's road win even if it turns out to be not as impressive as we all thought at the time).

This is why I think a multi touchdown lead out of the gate isn't impossible. Of course I thought a very similar thing a week ago about settling nerves with one good drive out the gate.

I honestly think Alabama wins this, but it won't be an elegant win. It'll be a win they pull out of their ass, and maybe by a touchdown, if that.

alabama just needs to show signs of life at some point soon, last week was bizarre

Yeah I need that win over them to look good damn it. Can I have ANYTHING nice as a Longhorns fan? Just one season where our biggest win's opponent doesn't shit the bed going forward?
