SEC Sleeper: Ole Miss Rebels
It’s the cliché team – it’ll be good enough to beat anyone on the right day, or lose to anyone.
You do NOT want to deal with this offense.
The Lane Kiffin era started out with a whole lot of yards, fireworks, and fun averaging 556 yards per game – third in the nation behind Kent State and UCF – as it ripped through just about everyone including a 647-yard performance against Alabama.
However …
– Predicting Every 2021 SEC Game
The Rebels allowed a mere 63 points and 723 yards to the Crimson Tide.
The defense has a whole lot of experience, should be a wee bit better against the decent passing teams, and no on will notice because QB Matt Corral and the offense will be firing at will.
In this year of the super-senior, Ole Miss is one of those teams that gets just about everyone back. It’s going to show right away in a hot start against Louisville, Austin Peay, and Tulane.
Will it beat Bama in Tuscaloosa? Probably not, but it wouldn’t be a total stunner with this offense.
There’s no Florida or Georgia to face from the East – hellloooooo Vanderbilt and Tennessee – Liberty has to be a win against Hugh Freeze, and Arkansas, at Mississippi State, and Auburn will all be getable enough to hope for the first winning season since 2015.
