Although he’s coached Ole Miss in 10 games, Tuesday marked the first time a Lane Kiffin-led Ole Miss team embarked on the meandering, month-long journey that is spring practice. Maybe you heard about it, but a lot of stuff in 2020 didn’t happen, including what would’ve been Kiffin’s first opportunity to see his team in live action.
As you recall, that opportunity got pushed to August, and most of us common folk didn’t get our first look at the team until they kicked off against Florida to start the season. With things back on a more familiar schedule, we can cut our wild speculation emissions by 75 percent, as we’ll get to spend March and April getting a feel for what to expect in the 2021 season.
