00:00 So, now we go to one of the other ranked versus ranked
00:06 matchups. A top fifteen tilt in Tuscaloosa, Alabama hosts
00:11 Ole Miss. The thirteenth ranked tied. The fifteenth ranked
00:14 run and revs. Alabama, a seven-point favorite. Leecey,
00:18 they already lost at home this year in Tuscaloosa as a
00:22 seven-point favorite week number two against another top
00:25 fifteen ranked opponent in Texas. Snapping a fifty-seven game.
00:30 Non-conference regular season win streak for Nick Saban and
00:33 the Tide who have not Joe Leecey lost multiple games at
00:37 home in Brian Denny since Saban's first year at the helm
00:40 back in 2007 but I noticed the colors you are wearing and the
00:44 colors that Kevin is wearing. You guys are making a statement
00:47 with your attire. Joe, why does Ole Miss stay in this
00:50 football game? Because of offensive explosiveness with
00:52 their quarterback, Jackson Dart, averaging well over 500
00:56 total yards per game. Three hundred yards passing, over
00:59 two hundred rushing, a buck seventy-seven on the ground but
01:02 Jackson Dart last week, 9.1 yards per carry. Every time he
01:06 tucks in and runs, he's averaging five yards per rush
01:09 and I think that's the diversity and difference in
01:12 this ballgame. You look at Alabama, they have owned this
01:15 series against Ole Miss. They've won seven straight by
01:18 an average margin of victory of twenty-seven and a half points
01:22 per game, got pushed to the limit last year in Oxford,
01:25 thirty to twenty-four and you look at this offense, Kevin.
01:29 They're only completing fifty-five percent in terms of
01:33 their their past attempts. Think about that compared to
01:36 last year with Bryce Young, sixty-three percent. The year
01:39 before in 2021, it was sixty-six percent and with
01:42 Mack Jones, seventy-six percent. Yeah. That's how far
01:46 off the quarterback position has fell off for Alabama. It's
01:49 amazing. I'm going with Ole Miss today. Well, Millro is
01:52 completing sixty percent. We don't care what those scrubs
01:54 did last week. I told you so. I told you so. I told you so.
01:57 Millro back in a big way. One of the five best quarterback
02:00 performances of this season belongs to Jalen Millro. It
02:03 happened last week. It's quite frankly what those two did
02:06 makes Miller look like the best quarterback in the country.
02:09 Ole Miss is wildly overrated. They would have lost to Tulane,
02:11 had Pratt stayed healthy and then they backdoor cover
02:14 against that team. They backdoor cover against Georgia
02:16 Tech. They've scored forty-two, forty-four points in the fourth
02:20 quarter in the last two games combined here and Bam is now
02:24 laying the same number against Ole Miss that they laid against
02:26 Texas despite the fact that Texas is way better than Ole
02:29 Miss. If I was more of a side better, I'd be on it quite
02:32 frankly. The closer we get to kick, I might be on the seven
02:35 year but I'm on the Jalen Millro rushing prop. The
02:37 number is forty-eight and a half. He landed at forty-four
02:39 against Texas. That was because of five sacks for negative
02:42 thirty-one yards. We know how college football goes. I do not
02:45 as scared of this Ole Miss defense here and if Tommy Reese
02:48 is worth anything as an offensive coordinator, he has
02:50 taken some time to understand to get Millro out of the pocket
02:54 and use one of the best athletes the quarterback position
02:57 has seen.
