The Rebs hit the Road to open SEC play this year and are in dire need of a Victory. No guarantees on this one as I said in a previous post, Vandy gives the Rebs fits. The game will be televised on your SEC Network provider, so if you are a DirecTV subscriber... that is channel 30. Personally looking forward to watching this game and see how the Rebels have progressed in the 3rd week of the 2011 campaign. Based on the info below, its not encouraging playing Vandy. Anyhoo, heres to hoping for putting up a W in the good column.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR ...

The Rebels started 1-2 last season and last started a year 2-1 in 2009 after knocking off Memphis and Southeastern Louisiana before falling to South Carolina ...
