Anyone looking for a repeat of the Rebels’ 70-point outings against 2015’s first two non-con opponents may have been disappointed with Ole Miss’ 38-13 win over Wofford on Saturday. In a game that was more about reestablishing an offensive rhythm and preserving bodies for next week’s matchup with Alabama (is three season-ending injuries in two games a lot or something?), however, the lack of fireworks was mostly by design.
Deriving an abundance of insight from a game like that is at times tough, but let’s try. I’m going to focus more on the first half at times, because most of the starters were still in and the offense was working in full gear.
