Perhaps I was too optimistic last week in discussing how much our defense had improved from last season until now. After all, the team is still 3-5.
This week is a return to reality for Ole Miss fans.
18th in marginal explosiveness
It’s tough enough to get past Auburn’s defensive front, but when you do they tend to keep you from big plays. This is one area Ole Miss’ offense has exploited in recent weeks with Plumlee at QB and Ealy toting the rock. That backfield is scary fast, so they’ll need to break a couple of big plays to keep things close.
