In the heat of summer we are absolutely, positively certain that football season will never get here.Then suddenly its Week Three and a bunch of important stuff is starting to happen. Here is what I mean as we look at some of the most important story lines for Saturday:Ole Miss tries to make historyOver the past two seasons Alabama has gone 26-3 with two SEC championships and one national championship. Two of those three Alabama losses have been to Ole Miss (the other was to Ohio State in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff in 2014).When the Rebels won 43-37 last season in Tuscaloosa, they became only the second SEC team to beat a Nick Saban-coached Alabama team in two consecutive meetings (LSU did it in 2010-11).On Saturday Ole Miss will try to bite off a real big chunk of history when it faces Alabama at home (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS). No SEC team has beaten Nick Saban three straight times. In fact, only twice in Sabans ultra-successful career has he lost three straight games to the same team. It happened against Michigan (1996-98) and Purdue (1997-99) when Saban was the head coach at Michigan State.Ole Miss will also be trying to post its first win ever against a No. 1 ranked team. The Rebels are 0-9 against No. 1 and were outscored by an average of 21.8 points in those losses.And here is a fun note: Since losing to Ole Miss at home last season the Crimson Tide has won 14 straight games. A win would give Alabama its third 15-game winning streak under Saban.Like brother vs. brotherKevin Steele and John Chavis were high school teammates and close friends as they grew up in Dillion, S.C. They both decided to play football at Tennessee and were roommates in college. They both decided to go into coaching.Chavis became an ultra-successful defensive coordinator at Tennessee and was a part of the Volunteers 1998 national championship team. He went on to LSU and today is the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M.Steele has coached at Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Nebraska and has been the head coach at Baylor. In fact, when Chavis left LSU for Texas A&M in 2014 he called Steele.You should go after this job, Chavis told Steele. Steele did and he got it. Steele was at LSU for one season when Auburn made him an offer he couldnt refuse to become the Tigers defensive coordinator.And so it is that Chavis and Steele will be on the opposite sidelines Saturday night when Texas A&M travels to Auburn.Its not the first time they have faced each other, the most recent coming last season when Steeles LSU defense held Texas A&M to only a touchdown in 19-7 victory. Were close, Steele said. Our families vacation together. Hes like my brother. But I still want to beat him.Chavis says he tries not to think about his relationship with Steele when they square off.I dont pay attention to that at all. We are great friends. We were roommates in college but I dont like to get caught up on who is on the other sideline, said Chavis. His friendship has meant a lot to me. His dad was the principal of our high school. His family has meant a lot to me. But with that being said Saturday night were going to play ball.If LSU is going to make a stand, it has to start Saturday night against Mississippi StateIt has not been a fun start for LSU and Coach Les Miles. The Tigers 16-14 loss to Wisconsin in the opener unleashed a lot of negative reaction from the LSU faithful. The Tigers came back last week to take care of Jacksonville State, an FCS opponent (34-13). Now the conference schedule starts with Mississippi State, Auburn, Missouri, and Florida in the next four weeks.All-America running back Leonard Fournette, who missed last weeks game with an ankle injury, is expected to return. Purdue transfer Danny Etling, who came off the bench to give LSU a spark, is expected to get his first start.LSU was in everybodys preseason Top 10. If Miles and company are going to challenge for the SEC West championship, the Tigers need a win.Mentally our guys are looking forward to getting into conference play, Miles said. They need to be ready to play and recognize that Mississippi State is a quality SEC opponent.Florida and Tennessee have to wait one more weekOne of the more anticipated conference games of the season takes place next week when Florida goes to Tennessee. But before these teams square off in Neyland Stadium on Sept. 24 they have to take care of some respectable teams from the Group of Five.Tennessee, which was impressive in last Saturdays 45-24 win over Virginia Tech in Bristol, Tenn., will meet an Ohio University team that has been bowl eligible for nine of the past 10 seasons. Florida, which overwhelmed Kentucky 45-7 in its SEC opener last week, takes on North Texas State.Florida fans get another chance to watch new quarterback Luke Del Rio, who completed 19 of 32 passes for 320 yards in a 45-7 win over Kentucky.A few more quick story lines to watch on Saturday:Arkansas (2-0) is coming off one of the best wins under Coach Bret Bielema as the Razorbacks beat TCU 41-38 in double overtime. Now the Hogs have to come back down to earth against Texas State before opening up the conference season next week against Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas.Kentucky (0-2, 0-1 SEC) has really struggled its first two games, giving up 1,084 yards and 89 points. The Wildcats could really use a win against New Mexico State (1-10).Vanderbilt (1-1, 0-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss to South Carolina with a 47-24 win over Middle Tennessee State at home. But the Commodores may have their hands full as they go to Georgia Tech and take on the Yellow Jackets option attack.South Carolina (1-1, 0-1) had better be ready for a visit from East Carolina (2-0). The Pirates have a 5-13 record against South Carolina and are coming off a big win against N.C. State last week. Both teams have first-year head coaches in Will Muschamp (South Carolina) and Scottie Montgomery (East Carolina). http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-John-Brown-Jersey/ . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Jermaine-Gresham-Jersey/ . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-David-Johnson-Jersey/ . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Adrian-Wilson-Jersey/ . Once again Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and I (@LynchOnSports) go head to head in our picks. Last weekend at UFC Fight Night 32 my #TeamLynch got the best of #TeamJC by a score of 9-6. Let us know which side youre on for UFC 167 use the hashtag #TeamLynch or #TeamJC on Twitter. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Drew-Stanton-Jersey/ . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Following their gritty fight in the second innings in Dubai, Jason Holder, the West Indies captain, has said his team is confident of dealing with Pakistan and their key bowler, legspinner Yasir Shah, at their fortress in Abu Dhabi. However, they would have to clean up their fielding and bowling going into this Test, he said, and readjust to playing in the daytime.We are obviously very confident as we played a very good Test match in Dubai and it was very competitive, Holder said. We had some great positives coming from that game, and for me, it is just to transfer it to this game. Abu Dhabi maybe a fortress for Pakistan, but we have shown that we can compete in this series.They have heavily depended on Yasir Shah and I think we coped with him very well. He was not that effective even on a day-five pitch.Pakistan have not lost in any of the eight Tests they have played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, winning four of them. For West Indies to challenge that record, as Holder said, they would have to improve on their catching in the first match, where eventual triple-centurion Azhar Ali was dropped on 17 and again on 190. No-balls were also an issue, particularly for fast bowler Shannonn Gabriel, who overstepped 11 times in the game.dddddddddddd Fellow pacer Miguel Cummins also bowled two no-balls, even getting a wicket off one - Babar Azam on four in the second innings; he eventually scored 21.We need to sharpen up on the mistakes we made in the field, Holder said. And we should cut out on those no-balls as it cost us. We need to improve on small areas in fielding and tighten up when we bowl, and stick to our plans for lot longer.The wicket was very good, both sides struggled to get wickets with their seamers. Spinners dominated in the Test. In such a situation, you [as a seamer] have to be very patient and accurate.The main readjustment with regards to going from a day-night Test to a day Test, Holder said, would relate to the players body clock and not the ball. We are accustomed to the conditions. However, our body needs to get accustomed to the clock, from bowling in the night and the afternoon start. Now, we have [to play] the whole day and it is a small adjustment. Playing red ball from pink will not need any major adjustment.
