COLUMN: John Rhys Plumlee is the starter. Where does that leave Matt Corral?

Ole Miss took care of business against inferior competition on Saturday, blowing out New Mexico State 41-3, but the biggest story on the field still lies with the two quarterbacks sharing time behind the center for the Rebels.

John Rhys Plumlee rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns, passed for 124 yards and took most of the snaps at quarterback for Ole Miss. The first time Matt Corral was seen in the game was late in the third quarter, and he attempted only two passes.

What was supposed to be a two-quarterback system with both Plumlee and Corral has since evolved into a system essentially employing Plumlee as the lone signal caller.
