Rich Rodriguez took this offensive coordinator position with a familiarity of the potential starter he was inheriting. Redshirt freshman Matt Corral played in just four games in 2018, securing his redshirt status, but the experience he gained in such a small time has prepared him somewhat for his role as starter this season.
Corral is clearly the leader literally and figuratively. And his success as quarterback in the Hot Rod offense will essentially dictate how 2019 goes for Matt Luke and the Rebels. If he takes charge of the offense, makes good decisions, and runs it efficiently, Ole Miss has a chance at taking care of business in the non-conference slate and winning a few SEC games.
