Here’s what ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit had to say on College GameDay ahead of Week 3 action:
On Alabama-Ole Miss:
- “If [Ole Miss] can’t run the football, it’s going to be reminiscent of Labor Day night.”
- “Alabama has plenty of guys, led by Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams… They don’t have to blitz. They don’t have to bring five.”
- “[Alabama’s] defense is too good and I’m looking forward to seeing the Bama offense take a step forward today, too.”
On LSU-Mississippi State:
- “I think Mississippi State’s defense can keep it close, even though it’s in Baton Rouge.”
On Texas A&M-Auburn:
- “This might be one of the more intriguing games. I think [Auburn’s] defense is for real and they’ll get it done.”
On Clemson’s struggles:
- “They’re trying to hit too many home runs.”
On Appalachian State possibly upsetting Miami:
- “The scare they gave [Tennessee] will get the Canes’ attention.”
