Miami and Florida said they would beat Alabama, but both fell short.

Now Ole Miss has joined the party. Lane Kiffin and the Mississippi Rebels face the Crimson Tide in two weeks at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama has some things to clean up offensively and defensively; however, a former Ole Miss star guarantees the rebels will turn the tide. Chad Kelly, who started as Mississippi quarterback in 2015 and 2016, said the national media had better stop playing with the Rebels. Kelly said Matt Corral was “the truth” and that Ole Miss was taking care of Alabama.

Kelly has had great success against the Alabama defense in his career. He completed 18 of 33 passes for 341 yards and totaled four touchdowns in Mississippi’s 43-37 victory over Alabama in 2015. Although he won a national championship and Derrick Henry won the Heisman Trophy, Ole Miss gave Nick Saban’s team their only flaw that year. In 2016, Kelly got the Crimson Tide in another offensive shootout. He completed 26 of 40 passes for 421 yards with three touchdowns. The Alabama defense made some huge plays, including a 75-yard fumble return for a Jonathan Allen touchdown. The Tide took a 48-43 victory over the Rebels.

Matt Corral is in the Heisman conversation with Bryce Young. Lane Kiffin torched Pete Golding last year, despite a 63-48 victory in Alabama. Some fans are nervous about the game because they know how badly Kiffin wants to beat Saban.

He prepared Ole Miss to knock out no one but Alabama. The contest on Saturday October 2 will be entertaining.
