What to Know

If the oddsmakers' predictions hold true, the near future looks bright for Alabama. An SEC battle is on tap between Alabama and Ole Miss at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Ole Miss will need to watch out since Alabama has now posted big point totals in their last four contests.

The Crimson Tide brought a three-game winning streak into their matchup against So. Miss last week; they left with a four-game streak. Alabama took their game with ease, bagging a 49-7 win over So. Miss. QB Tua Tagovailoa had a stellar game for the Crimson Tide as he passed for 293 yards and five touchdowns. Near the top of the highlight reel was Tagovailoa's 74-yard TD bomb to WR Henry Ruggs III in the first quarter.

The Rebels were out to avenge their 27-16 loss to California from the last time they squared off against one another, but they had no such luck. The Rebels fell to California 28-20.

Alabama's victory lifted them to 4-0 while Ole Miss' defeat dropped them down to 2-2. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Crimson Tide have yet to allow a single rushing touchdown. Less enviably, Ole Miss is 17th worst in the nation in passing yards allowed per game, with 288.50 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Ole Miss.
