As the sun beats down on the Ole Miss practice field and the thermometer inches toward 100 degrees, Rich Rodriguez is tailoring his offensive scheme at Ole Miss with an emphasis on speed.
The Rebels’ new offensive coordinator has been handed the keys to an interesting, but unproven group and with it comes the task of installing a new offense with new terminology to young playmakers.
Rodriguez has a potential All-SEC senior running back, a five-star true freshman talent, two senior tight ends and a stable of budding receivers coming out of the shadows. All these weapons are coming together under the leadership of a redshirt freshman quarterback that can match, if not exceed Rodriguez’s patented intensity on the field.
