The season opener for the Rebels is at home against the University of Tennessee Martin at 11 a.m. central on Saturday, September 5. While the game shouldn’t be too much of a challenge for the Rebels, is does give Ole Miss a great chance to fine-tune the team against a new opponent. The Tennessee Martin game should show how the new starters are fitting into the team, give younger players a chance to get some valuable snaps early in the season and help decide any position battles that carry over from practice into the season. There’s a chance the starter at quarterback will still be undecided or that the starter will not have a firm hold on the job, in which case this game could help decide who takes the reins at quarterback for the rest of season.
