00:02 - South in the South, are you ready for this one here?
00:06 In the SEC 330 kickoff, Ole Miss and Alabama,
00:10 a touchdown favorite here for the Crimson Tide at home.
00:13 Massive changes and look,
00:15 I watched the game last week against South Florida.
00:17 And I said to myself,
00:18 after the lightning strike in the rain,
00:20 I said, "Nick Saban's gonna go back into the locker room.
00:22 He's gonna go back to Mill Road
00:23 because if you would pick out one quarterback
00:25 in college football in a rain monsoon storm
00:29 that I would want running the football for me,
00:30 it would be Mill Road."
00:31 He didn't go that route.
00:32 They still won, but now we find out
00:34 that Mill Road is the starting quarterback this week
00:36 against Ole Miss.
00:38 Update us on this game.
00:39 What can we look forward to?
00:40 And my goodness, this is gonna be big for the standings.
00:43 - By the way, does anybody else think
00:45 that maybe that whole, you know,
00:47 not starting Mill Road thing was done by design
00:50 to not give Ole Miss a little bit of an advantage here
00:53 and perfect the game and look bad
00:55 so they can come out and steamroll in this one?
00:57 - Everything, every fiber in my being here
00:59 wants to back Lane Kiffin.
01:00 Ben, you know my affinity for Lane
01:02 and how much I love our Lane train.
01:05 I wanna back him.
01:06 I just don't know if I'm gonna get to the window here
01:09 and do it.
01:10 This feels like a very scary trap spot
01:13 that people are gonna bet against Alabama,
01:15 especially when that number came out less than a touchdown.
01:18 Like Alabama favorite at home, less than a touchdown
01:20 to anybody other than Georgia or LSU
01:23 feels like it's a way shorter number
01:25 than it's supposed to be for a valid reason.
01:28 I wanna believe Ole Miss can win this.
01:31 I know everybody in Oxford, Mississippi believes
01:33 that Ole Miss can win this.
01:36 I'll probably gonna stay away and just watch this enjoyably
01:39 and hope for a really good game.
01:41 But I, you know, Nick Saban only laying a touchdown at home
01:45 is just very tough to pass up here.
01:46 Ben, look at that smile from you
01:48 'cause you know that all this was done by design.
