I’ve heard it all week and I believe it. Ole Miss QB Matt Corral will be the best QB Alabama will face all season. The. Best. QB. All. Season. It’s not that big of a jump. Matt Corral is likely going to be the First Overall Pick in the NFL Draft and is one of the Heisman Favorites. The other Heisman Favorite is Bryce Young. It is as simple as 1 + 1 = 2. This will be the best QB Ole Miss is going to face all season. This is shaping up to be a major matchup. QB vs QB. Legend vs. Young Gun. Underdog vs. Number One. Yet there is one thing in the back of my mind I can’t stop thinking about. Matt Corral has that interception DNA in his system. We saw it multiple times last year. It hasn’t showed up yet in 2021. If he has been exorcised of the Interception Gene, Ole Miss may win this game and the whole shooting match. My gut, at some point, Jekyll and Hyde comes back. Which gets me to my final point. I think this is the best set of DBs Ole Miss will face all season. Count the DBs on the field Saturday. Five…maybe even Six most of the day. Alabama is deep there and I think they are elite in the pass game and run support. That is where I like The Tide in this matchup. This will be a classic game for those that love to breakdown game tape on Sunday regardless of the score.
