The Ole Miss football team has been plagued with injuries early in their season. With their depth depleted it was even more important for the defense to get rest. Unfortunately for the Rebels, rest was hard to come by as the Tide were on offense a over ten minutes longer than the Rebels.
“It’s a big concern because some of the guys are beat up,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said “You’ve got to be able to play a lot of defensive lineman, we need to be able to play more linebackers than we’re playing, your body wears down and I think you don’t think as well when you’re worn down.
