Alabama's big game against Ole Miss is on Saturday, a chance for the Tide to get revenge after losing to the Rebels each of the last two years and an early critical game as Alabama looks to again compete for a national championship.

Preparation for the game began Monday.

Here is what we saw during the media viewing period of Monday's practice:

-- The quarterback order was Jalen Hurts first, Blake Barnett second and Cooper Bateman third.

-- Injured wide receiver Cam Sims was practicing. Coach Nick Saban said Sims should be able to play against Ole Miss. Sims didn't play against Western Kentucky on Saturday due to a shoulder injury he suffered during Alabama's season-opening win over USC.

-- The first-team offensive line was Cam Robinson at left tackle, Lester Cotton at left guard, Bradley Bozeman at center, Ross Pierschbacher at right guard and Jonah Williams at right tackle.

-- Some scout team notes: Inside linebacker Joshua McMillon is playing Ole Miss' Rommel Mageo, inside linebacker Ben Davis is playing Rebels linebacker DeMarquis Gates, outside linebacker Mekhi Brown is playing Ole Miss defensive end Fadol Brown and linebacker/safety Keaton Anderson is playing linebacker Terry Caldwell.
