Opening their season with a disappointing loss to the Memphis Tigers on August 31, the Rebels bounced back to win back-to-back games over Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana. On the wrong end of a controversial spot, Ole Miss is coming off a 28-20 loss to the No. 23 Cal Bears on September 21.
Suffering an injury to his ribs in the Cal loss, redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Corral’s status for the game is up in the air. Completing 68-114 passes (59.6%), he has thrown for 844 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
Relieving Corral, freshman John Rhys Plumlee played well in his stead, completing all seven of his pass attempts for 82 yards. Even if Corral is able to suit up for Alabama, head coach Matt Luke has said Plumlee will see playing time in the game.
“They are both very different,” Luke said of Corral and Plumlee.
“We’d love to have both ready, and have them (Alabama) prepare for both.”
Saturday will be the 64th all-time meeting between these two programs. Alabama holds the edge in the series, 51-10-2, including winning three straight. The Rebels’ last win over the Tide came on September 19, 2015 in Tuscaloosa.
Kicking at 3:30PM ET, the game will be broadcast as part of the SEC on CBS.
