Near the end of the third quarter in Saturday’s loss to Missouri, Ole Miss offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez may have stumbled into the path forward for the Rebels’ offense in the remaining five games of the season. Down 14 points heading into the fourth quarter, Rich Rod decided rotate John Rhys Plumlee and Matt Corral within each series at quarterback, rather than giving an entire series to either one of them.
In three possessions, our fleet-footed and eye-black-smearing sons led the offense to 13 points and 156 yards on 17 plays (9.2 yards/play!), and the duo was six inches from making it 20 points and 210 yards, if Corral’s fourth-down pass had not juuuuuuuust missed an open Elijah Moore.
