Less than a week before Ole Miss’ season opener against South Alabama, the idea of the Rebels losing to what should be an outmatched Sun Belt team has already been tossed around. That thought didn’t creep out of nowhere, either, as the Jaguars have time and again shocked programs they had no business beating.
Mississippi State’s 20-21 dud last year in Starkville at the hands of USA is one of the more recent examples, and there’s a lot of value in seeing if anything that happened in that Week 1 upset could apply to Ole Miss.
