Alabama vs. Ole Miss

What to look for when Ole Miss has the ball:

Quarterback Seth Adams has completed 60 percent of his passes for 10 touchdowns and is fourth in the SEC with 226.2 yards per game. However, he is also tied with Brandon Cox for the most interceptions in the SEC, with seven.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis is fifth in the SEC with 95 rushing yards per game and can punish a defense, especially if the passing game is effective.

Ole Miss will line up and pound Alabama's defense with their running game, but they will also take shots down the field with Adams to speedy receivers like Mike Wallace, who averages 22 yards per catch.

Key match-up for Alabama: John Parker Wilson vs. Rebel secondary:

If Wilson and the rest of the passing game comes out clicking on all cylinders Saturday, it probably won't be a close game for long.

The Crimson Tide will try to establish the run, but Wilson connecting - or not connecting - with receivers on big plays will be the difference for the Tide offense.

Key match-up for Ole Miss: Rebel defense vs. Alabama run game:

Wilson may be tremendous on Saturday, but until he proves it, the key for Ole Miss is to stack the box, stop the run and force Alabama to beat them through the air.
