It feels so good to have a SEC match up on a Thursday night. Check out some SEC predictions for Week 4 in the SEC from the Birmingham News. Doug Segrest is going with the trendy pick (Ole Miss), we'll see if they are for real when we show up it Oxford. Before we start scouting both Ole Miss and the Gamecocks, let's check in with our Crimson Tide.
This year, the Tide benefits from a great 2008 recruiting class. Julio Jones man-handles secondary, Mark Ingram levels linebackers, Dont'a Hightower stands up running backs, and Terrence Cody plugs up the middle. But three games into this season, we have only seen the surface of what defensive end Marcell Dareus can do. Chris Low of ESPN.com has a unique perspective on who will be the Head of the 2008 class.
PJ Fitzgerald was removed from the rankings of the nation's top 20 in individual punting. This slip is welcomed tumbled, because Fitzgerald no longer qualifies for the listing because he has not punted enough. With his dismal nine punts for the season, he averages 44.7 yards per attempt.
