Saturday’s 45-14 beatdown of No. 12 Georgia was a showcase of the Rebels' offensive ceiling, and while most of the damage manifested itself in the passing game, a balanced attack was vital to their success. The offensive line made major strides, demonstrating stability and breathing life into what had been an inconsistent running game before this week. Contrary to what many had feared (including myself), Hugh Freeze didn’t have to revert to a one-dimensional air raid after all.
While Ole Miss certainly benefited from facing a less formidable opponent up front, it’s not crazy to believe that their success running the ball can be sustained throughout the season.
