Matt Corral’s legacy continues to grow with every high-flying performance. Now, things get more challenging for the Heisman Trophy contender. His Ole Miss Rebels travel to Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide, who also happen to have a pretty good offense led by their own Heisman contender.

This season, Corral is knocking on the door to becoming the best quarterback in the SEC/country — if he isn’t already. Statistics prove as much. Corral, who is a junior, is 2nd in the SEC with 335 yards passing per game, just behind Mississippi State’s Will Rogers who has 363 yards passing per game. As for passing efficiency, Corral also is 2nd, but the point differential is much, much closer. Corrall’s 187 rating is just a point behind Alabama quarterback Bryce Young’s, whose rating is 188. That leads us to a very intriguing matchup Saturday. The two will lead their teams in one of the most compelling matchups in college football this week when No. 12 Ole Miss takes on No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (CBS).

Last season, Corral threw for 365 yards and 2 TDs as the Rebels pushed the Tide before falling 63-48. He also added 40 yards rushing.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban is used to playing great quarterbacks, including Corral. That is often the case when you play in the SEC and participate (almost) annually in the College Football Playoff:

Here are the 5 of the best quarterbacks that Saban has faced as a college head coach. Four of these 5 won a Heisman Trophy, another list Corral hopes to join and the Tide want to keep him off:

Joe Burrow

LSU’s entire 2019 season was the ultimate example of everything coming together. That was perfectly embodied by LSU’s win over Alabama. Tiger quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 393 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Tigers beat Alabama 46-41 in Tuscaloosa. LSU would go on to win a national title and post an undefeated season. Burrow led a fantastic offense chock full of weapons that Bama couldn’t match on that day.

Eli Manning

Former Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning was the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NFL Draft and ended up with the New York Giants, but he still had to overcome Saban before his pro days began. Saban was the LSU coach from 2000-2004. We didn’t know it at the time, but Saban was on his way to building a national championship contender at LSU and would later become the most successful college coach of all time. Manning was trying to make Ole Miss respectable. He did so, especially when he and his team beat Saban and LSU 35-24. Manning is the only member of this group who didn’t win a Heisman. He finished 3rd in the 2003 voting.

Johnny Manziel

Despite his pro football troubles, Manziel was a unique challenge for college defenses. His strong arm, ability to escape pressure and keep passing plays alive downfield made things tough on defenses, including Alabama, which the Aggies beat in 2012.

In 2012, Manziel notched an incredible upset when his Aggies upset No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Manziel completed 24-of-31 passes for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns. That victory launched his successful Heisman campaign. Manziel was even more explosive the next season in 2013. Manziel set a school record with 464 yards passing and 5 touchdown passes in Round 2 vs. Saban. However, he also threw 2 interceptions and lost to Bama 46-42.

Cam Newton

Alabama is lucky they only played Cam Newton once. Newton led Auburn to 14-0 record and a national title in 2010 thanks largely to his amazing 24-point comeback against Bama in the Iron Bowl. Always a threat to run, Newtown threw for 216 yards with 3 passing touchdowns and a rushing score. The 24-0 “Cam-back” win was the largest in Auburn football history as the Tigers won 28-27.

Tim Tebow

Tebow was a nightmare to prepare for. He ran like a fullback and could throw well enough to keep defenses honest. Alabama lost to Tebow and Florida in the SEC Championship Game in 2008. However, the semi-rivalry wasn’t over. In the next season, the Crimson Tide beat Florida soundly 32-13 in the SEC Championship Game in 2009. That game signified the shift of power from Urban Meyer and Florida to Saban and Alabama.
