Watch out for Ole Miss (No. 17)
While most people would say Oregon or maybe Baylor features the most explosive offense in college football, don’t sleep on Ole Miss this year. The past two games, the Rebels have scored 149 points to open the season. Granted, these contests were against lesser competition, but that’s no different than most SEC teams right now.
Against Fresno State in Week 2, Ole Miss dominated through the air and on the ground, scoring four touchdowns on both fronts. Quarterback Chad Kelly has been magnificent, especially this Saturday, and has already racked up 557 yards and six touchdowns through the air with only one interception.
The crazy thing about Ole Miss’ offensive output to this point in the season is that it’s coming from seemingly every available offensive playmaker, including mammoth defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, who has now scored an offensive touchdown in both contests in 2015. He couldn’t be stopped on this goal-line score.
Unstoppable! #olemiss https://t.co/z74GfU2qYp

The real test comes next for the Rebels.
After a couple of easy opponents, Ole Miss now must brace for the fury of the Alabama Crimson Tide. The No. 2 team in the nation awaits in Week 3, and the Rebels must find a way to keep this offensive juggernaut going on the road against one of the toughest defenses in the nation.
