Ole Miss football 2016 was a non-entity.
When in recent memory has a Rebels football season begun with such high expectations and ended with just dismal results? Ole Miss had the players, experience and moxie to blast off in 2016, but serious kinks on defense and the offensive line exposed themselves early and often, and now the Rebels aren’t bowling for the first time since 2012. Crippled by injuries (including one to the conference’s best quarterback), lack of defensive depth and an unimaginative coaching staff that’s already begun to be overhauled, Ole Miss watched its dreams of SEC West contention crumble into a 5-7 campaign.
