Ole Miss incorporates young safeties into secondary

During fall camp, the safety group has been under close scrutiny, as a freshman and a sophomore are set to start at the back two spots and star senior Tony Conner is set to return from injury at the Huskie position. While there is an impressive amount of young talent in the secondary, Head Coach Hugh Freeze felt the group had to allow less big plays.

Conner said Freeze preached communication to the group often, and felt it could help solve the big play issues.
