LIVE UPDATES: No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels Take on No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide
The No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels are set to face their biggest challenge of the 2023 season on Saturday afternoon when they take on the No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Rebels (3-0) are undefeated entering their first conference matchup of the season while the Tide have already taken a loss versus the Texas Longhorns and struggled to put away the USF Bulls in Week 3.
It is never wise to underestimate the Tide and coach Nick Saban - especially on their home turf - but Ole Miss is in a great position to pick up their first win against Alabama since 2015.
You can find the keys to the game here, and you can find out how to watch Ole Miss' Week 4 matchup here.
The Rebels and Tide are scheduled to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, and the game will be televised on CBS Sports.
Pregame
Saturday morning, it was revealed that Ole Miss receivers Tre Harris, Zakhari Franklin, and tight end Caden Prieskorn are all "doubtful" to see the field versus Alabama. Franklin and Prieskorn have yet to take a snap for the Rebels after transferring to Ole Miss during the offseason.
However, ahead of kickoff, Ole Miss announced its Team Captains for Week 4 and listed four players. Prieskorn, Harris, defensive back Trey Washington, and defensive lineman Cedric Johnson were all named Captains for the road game at Alabama.
Kiffin has successfully created a smokescreen to keep the Tide guessing ahead of kickoff.
