Players to Watch in the Ole Miss Game

QB John Parker Wilson -- Wilson seemed to be making progress over the first three games of the season and played well in the third game, leading the Crimson Tide to a dramatic last-minute touchdown drive in a 41-38 win over Arkansas. Since then, he's been mostly ineffective, but coach Nick Saban said, "I'm not as disappointed as everyone else is in John Parker. He's not doing as bad as everyone thinks."

RB Glen Coffee -- In his first career start last week, Coffee ran for 121 yards and a four-yard touchdown on 30 carries and caught six passes for 30 yards. He will most likely continue to share the ball with Terry Grant and Roy Upchurch but Coffee showed he can carry the load.

WR D.J. Hall -- After catching at least three passes for at least 45 yards in each of the first five games, Hall finished with three receptions for 19 yards against Houston. At times, he appears to be frustrated with the offense, especially when he's not the focal point of the passing game.

DE Wallace Gilberry -- Gilberry's impact seems to increase with each game this season. Against Houston, he came through with a team-high 11 tackles, with nine solo stops, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, one sack for a safety and two quarterback pressures to earn SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors.
