Alabama at Ole Miss
13 clubs attending: New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers,Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens,New York Giants, San Diego Chargers,Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals,Pittsburgh Steelers.
Details: Saturday, Sept. 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS)
Three top players: Alabama (DL Jonathan Allen, S Eddie Jackson, TE O.J. Howard); Ole Miss (QB Chad Kelly, TE Evan Engram, DE Marquis Haynes).
Reuter's matchup to watch: TE Evan Engram vs. S Eddie Jackson. In a game with several individual matchups that NFL scouts will be watching closely, the battle between Engram and Jackson might be the most crucial for the Rebels' chance of an upset. Two weeks ago, Kelly couldn't rely on the running game to slow down Florida State's pass rush (he had 15 of the team's 67 rushing yards), nor could he assume his defense would stop the Seminoles' offense (580 total yards). Those scenarios are likely to play out again when Nick Saban's defense shows up across the line of scrimmage. Sure, Kelly has very good receivers in freshman A.J. Brown, junior Damore'ea Stringfellow and senior Quincy Adeboyejo. But Kelly's best big-play threat might be Engram, who caught nine passes for 121 yards and a score against FSU. Saban knows this, and might trust former cornerback Jackson, now a safety, to stay with Engram on his routes to neutralize the threat. If Jackson keeps the athletic Engram at bay, he'll curry favor with NFL scouts for his cover skills. If Engram can free himself from man coverage, he'll earn praise from those same scouts. Watch the middle of the field when these two are face-to-face on Saturday afternoon.
