Ole Miss vs Baylor Allstate Sugar Bowl Preview

Well that worked out just fine. The Lane Train rolled into Oxford last year, and after going 5-5 with an Outback Bowl win, it all kicked in. Lane Kiffin’s team cranked up the offense, improved the defense, and it got to ten wins with only road losses to Alabama and Auburn.

– And Ole Miss has its guy back for one more game. QB Matt Corral doesn’t need to play in this – he’s already in the mix to be one of the first quarterbacks off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft – but he chose to play in this. Now the game has its marquee player for the average fan to watch.

– There should be an expanded College Football Playoff and the Big 12 Champion should be in it. We’re not there yet as a society, but being in the Sugar Bowl is still a massive achievement for head coach Dave Aranda and the Baylor program.

Aranda had to deal with a rebuild when he took over in 2020. The Bears couldn’t score, couldn’t come up with a big defensive stop, and the 2-7 season was a disaster. There was some house cleaning, a full year to work, and then came the results with an 11-win run and a Big 12 title.

– Baylor isn’t a flashy team like Ole Miss. It wins the turnover battle, it doesn’t make a slew of mistakes, and it runs the ball really, really well. It’ll be solid more than spectacular, grinding this down while Ole Miss tries to speed it up.

How crazy is it to try predicting a college football game months in advance when 1) there wasn’t any spring ball, 2) there aren’t any real depth charts to go off of, 3) no one has ANY clue how to get sports going again, and 4) we don’t even know what the 2020 season is going to be?

Just crazy enough to potentially get some fantastic values on the early lines.

You can bet now at BetMGM on a whole lot of college football games – including going really insane looking at lines in November – with the possibility of hitting something big.

We’ll be diving in a whole lot deeper when we do this for real just before the season – crossing fingers that there is one. But for now …

Ole Miss vs Baylor Game Preview: Preseason Version


Why Baylor Will Win

There’s a whole lot of reworking going on with the Ole Miss offense.

It’s still going to run the ball, and it’s got the skill parts to come up with an explosive, more balanced O, but the downfield passing attack is going to need a few games to get any sort of a rhythm together.

You can’t go from having an offense that was 102nd in the nation and painfully inefficient at times to cranked up right away without more time than this offense is going get.

There will be a Rebel pass rush, and there’s talent in the secondary, but the SEC’s worst pass defense will need a little time, too.

Baylor QB Charlie Brewer is back along with three of his top five receivers, but …

Why Ole Miss Will Win

Pretty much anyone who did anything big for the Baylor defense last year is gone.

Leading tackler Terrel Bernard is back, but eight of the top 11 tacklers are done, almost all of the defensive front needs to be replaced, and a new coaching staff and a new style will have to get the offense up to speed.

For all of the good things Baylor did last year under head coach Matt Rhule, the pass protection wasn’t great – it was the second-worst in the Big 12. Ole Miss might have its defensive concerns coming into the season, but getting to the quarterback likely won’t be one of them.

What’s Going To Happen

Which team with the new coaching staff can get things together the fastest?

Baylor has more personnel concerns, Ole Miss has more stylistic issues, and in the season opener, the side with the pieces already in place will find a way to grind through a relatively sloppy game with a ground attack that will take over in the second half.
