Alabama vs Southern Miss Game Preview


Why Southern Miss Will Win

The Golden Eagles are playing a little defense.

The pass rush has been strong over the first three games along with plenty of plays in the backfield. No, USM hasn’t played anyone amazing, but it has yet to allow more than 60 rushing yards and hasn’t given up more than 304 yards of total offense.

There isn’t enough firepower to matter offensively, but the team knows how to play with a decent tempo and should at least be able to shorten the game a bit.

Why Alabama Will Win

The Southern Miss offense won’t go anywhere.

It wasn’t bad against Grambling, but South Alabama didn’t allow much of anything, and Troy stuffed Frank Gore Jr. and company allowing just -1 net rushing yard.

The bigger problem for the Golden Eagles is interest. Nick Saban has been less than thrilled with the team’s 60-minute effort over the first three games – the letdown against Florida is looming large – and with Ole Miss and Texas A&M coming up, four quarter intensity is going to matter.

It shouldn’t take more than a few early scores to put this away.

What’s Going To Happen

Alabama is going to come out smoking, and Southern Miss is going to get in the way.

This is still a young team. Even for Alabama, replacing star players isn’t always easy. Of course the team is amazing, but there are just enough mistakes to make this a tone-setting game attitude-wise for what’s up next.

Any scores for Southern Miss would be a success.

Roll Tide Wire staff predictions for Alabama vs Southern Miss

Alabama closes out the month of September with a home matchup against Southern Miss. Check out the Roll Tide Wire’s staff predictions here.

Alabama closes out the month of September with a home matchup against Southern Miss. Coming off two big wins against Miami and Florida, Nick Saban will be looking to fine-tune his squad against the Golden Eagles before heading into full-time SEC play.

Bryce Young and the offense will be focusing on getting their run game back to the standard we have seen in Tuscaloosa. Brian Robinson Jr. is considered day-to-day with a bruised rib injury suffered against Florida. Jase McClellan and Trey Sanders should get most of the carries.

On the defensive side of the ball, it should be a successful day. Southern Miss has only managed to put up an average of 17.7 points in their first three games. Linebackers Christian Harris and Henry To’oto’o will be looking to have bounceback games.

At the end of the day, not a lot will come out of Saturday’s matchup. A ton of guys buried in the depth chart will have the opportunity to get playing time. Staying healthy and getting in a good mindset for Ole Miss will be the goal.

AJ Spurr

After the Mercer game, I thought the team would have shaped up when they took on Florida. Not only was I wrong, but I was very wrong. After a near-loss against the Gators and a sloppy win against an FCS opponent a few weeks ago, I think this game is the perfect opportunity for both the offense and defense to show some discipline and get it together before they begin the gauntlet that waits ahead.

Bryce Young has been the center of a lot of questions this past week. Is he able to make good decisions mid-play? Can he mature in time for the heavy-hitters on the schedule like Ole Miss and Texas A&M? This is his opportunity to answer them without saying a word.

Griffin McVeigh

In still having Tua PTSD, I do not fully hate the route Ohio State is taking with C.J. Stroud this weekend. He is considered the emergency quarterback will the two backups split playing time. Seeing Bryce Young go down in a game against Southern Miss obviously not be good.

But Saban is going to play him because what do I know? The answer: Nothing.

I’m more interested in seeing how some of the younger guys fair. Seeing JoJo Earle get more involved early would be nice. Drew Sanders going against inferior competition should give us a better idea about how he fits in with the defense as well.

Stacey Blackwood

Questions have been raised since last Saturday’s performance against Florida. What’s wrong with the defense? Where is the running game? Does this team have what it takes to win a championship?

While Alabama can’t completely answer all of these questions in this game, I believe the Tide will play its most complete game of the young season and easily handle the Golden Eagles.

Layne Gerbig

Southern Miss will try to utilize their mobile QB and outside run game to beat the Alabama defense to either edge. Running back Frank Gore jr. has good enough talent to test the front seven. It will be a good chance to see if the Tide’s run defense has improved since last Saturday. USM doesn’t have much of a passing game.
Expect Alabama touchdowns often. I don’t think the Golden Eagle defense is capable of stopping the Crimson Tide. Freshmen will get a chance to shine by mid-3rd quarter.

The mood around this contest for the Tide faithful is a little strange. This game is sandwiched between a game against the aforementioned Florida Gators and a matchup with Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels.
