21 points is a lot of points to give up. I realize everyone expects Bama to bounce back this week and dominate Ole Miss but having gone to many Bama/Ole Miss games, I can tell you that for some reason Ole Miss plays Bama close every year. Not sure if Bama just plays down to their level or Ole Miss just really gets up for the Bama game. Probably a combination of the two. I realize Alabama is a much different team than it was 3 years ago with far better talent but 3 touchdown advantage is big. We could only put up 21 vs. USC and on the other hand we gave up 35. Masoli is starting to understand their offense and make some plays. Bama has had enough trouble this year just getting pressure on pocket passers (Mallett, Garcia) now we gotta get after a mobile QB that can throw very accurately on the run. Masoli has made some of the best plays in his career when he was flushed from the pocket and on the run. This could be a problem. No way do I see Ole Miss winning this game but I can definitely see them keeping it within 10-14 pts. I hope im wrong but here are the scores from the last 5 yrs/games.
