Ole Miss safety Cody Prewitt downplayed the Rebels' game this Saturday when the No. 11 team hosts No. 2 Alabama, telling local sports anchor TJ Werre of WJTV that he doesn't think Alabama "is as good as they have been."

Prewitt may be on to something -- Bama is No. 20 in opponent passer rating this year. They were No. 26 the previous year, which broke a four-year streak in the top-10 for that ranking. 

The game gets underway at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

with "we understand that we haven't played a team that's gonna be as good as Bama." I doubt he was trying to take a shot at the Tide.
