Alabama is no stranger to giving up a boatload of passing yards at home to a competent quarterback this season. In fact, Quinn Ewers had a field day in Tuscaloosa just a couple of short weeks ago in an upset by Texas and I think we’ll see Jaxson Dart have a big game, too.

The second-year Ole Miss starter has been quietly dominant this season and he’s proving himself worthy of that QB1 job after Lane Kiffin brought in Spencer Sanders and Walker Howard this offseason. He has 852 yards and seven touchdowns with just one pick in three games and he’s completing over 66 percent of his passes with a 12.5 yards-per-attempt average. On top of that, he leads the team in rushing.

Alabama is going to have a tough time containing him just like it couldn’t seem to slow down Ewers a couple of weeks ago.

Dart is going to have himself a big day, passing for 300 yards and rushing for 50 more on the way to a 350-yard day.

Will it be enough to upset the Tide? We’ll see.
