Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is closely monitoring the health of Tony Conner this week.
Conner got back on the field against Arkansas, his first game since sustaining a torn MCL in Week 3 at Alabama.
As is often the case with great players, their absence affects more positions than their own. How much Conner can play next week against LSU — He went 30 snaps against Arkansas — affects how much Freeze and Dave Wommack can use senior Mike Hilton at cornerback.
Conner believes he can go more than 30 plays next week.
How much Hilton figures into the plan at corner remains to be seen, but he figured into it a great deal in the second half against Arkansas.
