Ole Miss Rebels Preview

The Rebels have won their last two games after suffering their first defeat of the season to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Their recent showing was a 27-20 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks, where they scored 10 points in the fourth quarter alone to seal it.

Their margins in scoring are great, which is a big reason why they keep winning games. They maintain an average of 41.7 points per game while conceding just 23.8 to their opponents. This provides a comfortable margin of safety, assuming they can sustain these figures.

Their offensive performance has been impressive in terms of gaining yards. They achieve an average of 489.3 total yards per game, with 306.0 of those coming from passing plays. Defensively, their line holds up reasonably well, allowing 388.3 total yards, with 261.5 attributed to passing plays.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart is poised to be a threat to the Tigers. Presently, he ranks 14th in the nation with a QBR of 81.1 and has been sensational. Out of his 1,638 yards, he has thrown 12 touchdowns and four interceptions, although his precision needs to continue here.

Auburn Tigers Preview

After winning their first three games of the season, the Tigers have lost their last three. Their most recent defeat was a 48-18 blowout to the LSU Tigers, where they gave up 28 points in the second half.

Their offense has maintained consistency, averaging 27.7 points per game when facing formidable opponents. Nevertheless, they have allowed opposing teams to score an average of 23.2 points. To stay competitive against the Rebels, it is crucial for them to make the most of their defensive efforts.

Furthermore, the disparity between their total yards gained and total yards allowed is negative. They have accumulated an average of 347.3 total yards, including 191.5 rushing yards. On the defensive side, they have given up 362.8 total yards, with 216.0 yards originating from passing plays. This might not be sufficient when facing the Rebels.

Quarterback Payton Thorne, with four touchdowns and four interceptions, has not had a standout performance. Currently, he ranks 67th in the nation with a QBR of 58.9. His 745 yards suggest that he will need to deliver an explosive game to make a significant impact.
