After a 66-3 slaughter at the hands of Nick Saban, one would hope for some relief in the form of a much easier matchup the following Saturday. That’s obviously not the case, as Ole Miss limps into Auburn to take on a squad that’s peaking on a few different levels.
The Tigers’ ugly loss to Clemson prompted immediate concern over their offense, especially over the fact that they gave up 11 sacks. It turns out that Clemson boasts one of best defenses in the country, and judging by how things have gone since then, that Week 2 skirmish may have just served as growing pains for transfer quarterback Jarrett Stidham and new coordinator Chip Lindsay.
