When Ole Miss looks in the mirror it could very well see Cal.
And vice versa.
The SEC and Pac-12 schools who have never met are that similar through two games in 2017.
Both are 2-0 with playmakers on offense and suspect defenses. Both had to rally past FCS opponents at home last week.
A 3-0 start would be huge in helping the Rebels build momentum and exceed the expectations many have for them, and one thing that could put them over the top is quarterback play.
Cal’s Ross Bowers has been far from shabby with 563 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, but Ole Miss’ Shea Patterson leads the nation in passing yards* and should easily eclipse the 1,000-yard mark Saturday in Berkeley.
