Ole Miss defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff spoke last week about the speed of the Rebels’ defense – and it’s actually playing faster than the offense, he says.
You can throw up a coach speak caution flag there, but the central message looks to be true.
We’ve heard the word “energy” tossed about a lot with McGriff and his preparation for this defense. You can see his energy level during practice. He’s pushing his guys to get ready to play quickly after each snap.
Of course, when practicing against a tempo offense like the one Ole Miss has, he has to do that.
