Ole Miss football will be hitting the road to take on what looks like a wounded bird, but could actually be a sleeping giant in Alabama.

The Rebels are undefeated on the season and they’re looking much improved from last year, especially on offense. But will Jaxson Dart’s hot start be enough to notch Ole Miss a road win at Alabama in Week 4?

Let’s get bold.

3. Ole Miss football won’t be able to stop Jalen Milroe

Nick Saban praised his starting quarterback this week, stating that Jalen Milroe doesn’t have anything left to prove, he’s the QB1.

The legendary head coach went on to say that the reason Milroe didn’t play against USF was because he wanted to give his backups a chance to prove themselves and they would only use Milroe if they needed to. Well, the Tide probably did need Milroe in that ugly win, but he watched as his team squeaked out a victory and didn’t complain.

Now he’s back under center and he’s clearly the best option Alabama has under center and his dual-threat ability is going to be a problem for the Rebels. They’re not going to be able to stop him as this will be a coming-out party for the first-year starting quarterback.

Milroe is no Bryce Young or Jalen Hurts or Tua Tagovailoa, but he’s going to have a legendary game on Saturday afternoon.

I think he closes in on 400 total yards and four touchdowns.
