Ole Miss is at a delicate point of its season right now. After starting 20-2 and winning its first SEC series at Tennessee, the Rebels have scuffled as of late. Things just are not going well. South Carolina swept the Rebels at home, and dropping two of three last weekend at Mississippi State has Ole Miss at 20-7 and 3-6 in SEC play, which has them sixth in the SEC West only behind a 2-7 Auburn club.
The starting pitching has not been there at all. An Ole Miss starter has not made it six innings in SEC play, and seven of the last nine games, the starter has not made it out of the fifth.
