Rebel defense resorting back to basics before facing explosive Cal offense

Two games into the season, Ole Miss football has been lackluster on defense. Evident in the low number of sacks against South Alabama and the University of Tennessee at Martin, there is a clear disconnect when it comes to wrapping up.

“Everybody is coming in and running the ball,” defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff said. “You have to earn the right to get an interception and get a sack, and the only way to get a sack or an interception is to stop the run.”
