How we feeling? How do y’all think we matchup with them? Score predictions?
I think we match up pretty well. Their strength is their OL and ours is our DL. I like Pete to get creative to get pressure. Especially with Perkins because he’s so damn athletic and can get home in different ways. Nolen and JJ will eat in the middle as always. Our edge rushers have their work cut out for them, but we are damn good on the DL.
Their defense is awful as we know. Here’s where they rank in the SEC in some random stats and I’ll include Ole Miss as well:
Passing YPG allowed - 16th / OM 8th
Sacks - 3rd (with 15) / Ole Miss is 1st (with 24)
TFL - 15th (with 32) / OM is 1st in the country (with 63)
Rushing YPG allowed- 10th with 117 RYPG & 8 rushing TD allowed / OM 1st in the country with 63 RYPG and just 1 rushing TD allowed in 6 games
I think our offense finds success. It’s obviously even easier with Perkins out for them. Our DL is going to get after Nuss and he’s just not mobile enough to overcome it.
Rebs win 31-24
