When a defensive-minded head coach like Mark Stoops is asked what worries him most about an opponent, his answer carries weight. And when it comes to Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels, the answer is immediate and unequivocal.
“The tempo is the first thing, obviously,” Stoops stated plainly this week. “They go extremely fast and they dress things up very well. They do what they do, but present it differently. They present it very fast and have very good players out there doing it.”
That breakneck pace is more than just a challenge; it's a defensive coordinator’s nightmare.
