Since Jordan Ta’amu slid into the driver’s seat midway through last season, Ole Miss’ souped up offense has raced past every defense it’s faced. In the seven games since Ta’amu made his first start, the Rebels have averaged an absurd 43 points per game and 7.9 yards per play. During that same span, Ta’amu himself averaged over 10 yards per pass, completed 67 percent of his throws and racked up 22 total touchdowns. This offense has been historically good.
There is a caveat that needs to be tacked onto the end of that sentence: this offense has been historically good against mostly bad defenses.
