After two consecutive seasons of beating Alabama, account for two of the five combined losses for the Crimson Tide over the last five years, it's becoming "almost expected" for Ole Miss to beat the defending National Champions.
Or at least that's how Ole Miss sophomore defensive tackle Breeland Speaks sees it, per ESPN:
"It's like how 'Bama fans think they should beat Auburn every year, it's kinda like we're supposed to beat (Mississippi) State every year, we're supposed to beat 'Bama, we're supposed to beat LSU," Speaks said. "We got to get over that Arkansas hump, but ... we're supposed to win now and nothing less is going to be taken."
Can Ole Miss get over the hump after a 10-3 season in each of the past two years? They're listed at No. 7 in Sporting News' top 25, and they'll have plenty of opportunities to turn heads this year.
