“It’s good to be back.”
Matt Luke’s first words back in Oxford weren’t surprising after spending three days in Covington, Kentucky, watching the future of Ole Miss football play out during the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions meeting. Luke and his Rebels can finally focus on football again as they hit the air Thursday en route to Berkeley, California, where they will face a high-flying Golden Bears team Saturday night.
California provides a measuring stick for Ole Miss as it faces its first Power Five conference foe, especially given how eerily its strengths and weaknesses reflect Ole Miss’ own.
