Ole Miss football looking for a sweet start to the new year

After arriving in New Orleans earlier this week, the Ole Miss football team is shaping up to take on the Baylor Bears on New Year’s Day.

Ole Miss delayed their arrival into the Big Easy to ensure proper safety measures and extend their time in Oxford.

“Picture a week of walking around Bourbon Street and everything. I don’t think that’s really up there high on COVID protocol,” Coach Lane Kiffin said. “So we stayed as long as they would let us, actually, because of that. It’s easier to monitor kids, have them here where they are used to.
