After a relatively easy first half of the season, the Ole Miss football schedule takes a big step up at Memphis.
Ole Miss won last year’s matchup 24-3, but head coach Justin Fuente has done great things at Memphis so far and they should be improved compared to last year’s team.
Last year’s defense did a solid job against the Ole Miss offense; the Tigers offense couldn’t get anything going against the Rebels’ top ranked scoring defense. The defense loses eight starters and their defensive coordinator, including star defensive end Martin Ifedi.
While this means the defense will not be as good as last year’s, which allowed just 19.
