Ole Miss Offensive Preview

[Disclaimer: I haven’t seen the movie in... 10 years. So I may be misremembering some details about the movie here.]

In 2009, the totally real and not at all embellished documentary The Blind Side was released (I know it’s a real documentary because I saw Nick Saban in the movie), and it told the inspirational story of one of Ole Miss’ most heralded recruiting prospects ever, offensive lineman Michael Oher. How did Ole Miss land such a highly-touted, surefire future NFL offensive lineman?

Michael Oher’s high school coach in the movie documentary, Coach Cotton, was actually the infamous Hugh Freeze.
