Most of the coaches at SEC Media Days answer questions about their own team, but Malzahn was very candid about how he thought about other teams. He praises the defensive line of Ole Miss, even after the loss of Robert Nkemdiche.
Here is the question that Malzahn was asked.
“Ole Miss’ defensive line lost Robert Nkemdiche. Where does that group rank within the SEC West and just kind of game planning for losing a guy that used to double, triple team, all that?”
Malzahn’s answer:
“They were very good on the defensive front. It wasn’t just him,” Malzahn said.
