If you look at the stats, Ole Miss' offensive stats are not that much different from ours facing essentially the same caliber of defenses. It could easily be argued we have faced tougher defenses than them so far. Also, if you look at their schedule, the only teams they have really played are their last two games. Take into account Texas A&M was highly overrated in the early part of the season and Alabama is not the Alabama of old, and presto, you have an "upset" in the making. At this point, if they've been listening to all the media hype, Ole Miss is way over confident and due for a reality check. Our defense stifles their offense, and our offense leads us to a win.
I earlier predicted a 24-21 Vol win, but the more I look at the stats, I'm thinking we win by at least a 10-point margin. After facing Oklahoma and Georgia, our team will not be intimidated traveling to Oxford and facing their crowd.
