Jerrell Powe, an all-time Rebel football great, will never be able to bring himself to pick against Ole Miss.

But even Powe recognizes the challenge the Rebels face on Saturday, when they host Alabama at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS. While the Crimson Tide isn’t the same dominant force it’s been for almost two decades, Bryce Young and Co. aren’t a great matchup for Ole Miss.

The Rebels have struggled with mobile quarterbacks all year (LSU’s Jayden Daniels put five total touchdowns on them in their only loss of the year), and Young, a former Heisman Trophy winner, is inarguably one of the best in the country.

“We struggle against guys that have mobility,” Powe said, in this edition of Powe Corner, in association with Talk of Champions. “This guy, he can beat you in the pocket or he can get outside the pocket and beat you. We’re going to have our hands full.

“We’ve got to get him off the spot. If we can find a way to get Bryce Young off the spot and contained and those guys do a good job on the back end, we’ve definitely got a chance. But we’re definitely going to have to outscore them. The offense can’t make any mistakes. Every time we take the field, we’ve got to get something positive out of it.”

Powe believes Ole Miss will have to play its best and most complete game of the year to have a chance.

Of course, the Rebels don't really have any other choice but to win if they hope to keep their SEC title and College Football Playoff hopes alive. Ole Miss no longer control its postseason destiny following LSU’s win over Alabama; the Tigers hold the tiebreaker should both teams finish with just one SEC loss.

But Powe is convinced LSU gets knocked off this weekend.

“Arkansas is fixin’ to beat LSU,” he said. “I guarantee it.”
