Bama Roll wrote, “Southern Miss is not very good. Their
combined record from the last two seasons is 1-23. Last season they were
outscored 503-205. Making matters worse for me, the Golden Eagle offense
averaged 4.62 yards per play and scored 21 points or more only three times the
entire season.”
I’m not going to make the mistake
of getting cocky, but unless something absolutely bizarre happens my beloved
Crimson Tide should have no trouble giving the Golden Eagles a good
old-fashioned whipping. They are a
massive 47-point favorite according to
oddsmakers.
This game gives The Tide one more
chance to work out any kinks before they take on the Florida Gators in the
first of seven consecutive league games. Bama has a bye after the Gators but
then goes on the road to Ole Miss and Arkansas to start October.
QB Blake Sims is expected to
start when the Crimson Tide hosts Southern Mississippi with Jake Coker coming
off the bench.
Head Coach Nick Saban said,
"The quarterback situation is no different than it was before. I know you all would love to create a
quarterback controversy. But the one
thing I noticed that I wish you noticed, when Jake Coker threw the touchdown
pass [against West Virginia] who was the first guy to go and jump up and give
him a congratulations and a hug was Blake Sims."
Kickoff is 6:00PM ET on ESPN2 from Bryant-Denny Stadium in
Tuscaloosa.
ROLL TIDE!

lovelies.
