2. Treylon Burks will be a matchup nightmare

Looking at the numbers, there may not be a single defensive back on Ole Miss’ roster that can hang with Treylon Burks and his size and explosiveness.

Burks is a 6-3, 225-pound wideout and he’s a matchup nightmare for defenses not named Georgia. A year ago, he posed a huge problem for Ole Miss’ defense as he caught a career-high 11 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown and he even rushed for nearly 50 more yards. He’s going to be a problem for that Rebel secondary yet again.

The junior receiver had two straight 100-yard games before being held to just 10 yards on three catches last weekend and he’s not going to have two straight bad games. He’s just too good.

Burks is going to have a monster game and the mismatch he provides will play a huge role in the outcome.
