SEC Game of the Year – Ole Miss vs. Alabama September 19, 2015

	This is a 10* play on the Ole Miss Rebels. The Rebels scored a potential game winning TD at home against Auburn last year, that would have put them at 8-1 through their first nine games, and still on track to win the conference. The go-ahead score was overturned after video review however, and Mississippi would lose to Auburn by a score of 35-31. They also lost star wideout Laquon Treadwell who suffered a broken leg on the play, which caused him to fumble the ball in the endzone. That’s how close this team came to appearing in the SEC Championship game against an Alabama team that they defeated earlier in the season. The Rebels ranked #1 nationally in scoring defense in 2014, and they return eight starters on both sides of the ball here this season. The Rebels held Derrick Henry to just 37 yards on 17 carries in last year’s game, and Blake Sims threw for 228 yards on 19-of-31 passing with no TDs and an INT. Nick Saban has yet to decide on a replacement for Sims, as Jake Coker and Cooper Bateman have split the workload so far. Neither has impressed, and last week they each threw interceptions at home against Middle Tennessee. Mississippi’s quarterback Chad Kelly threw for 346 yards and four TDs in a win over Fresno State last week. The Rebels have scored 149 points in the first two weeks, and that’s a great sign for a team that owns the SEC’s best defense. I think Kelly may be able to take advantage of an inexperienced Alabama secondary, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rebels win this game outright.
