The official season doesn’t kick off for another month and a half, but Ole Miss head football coach Matt Luke said it’s never too early to prepare for the season.
Luke told reporters during SEC Media Days that their emphasis will be on making a statement against early in the season Memphis in the season opener and Arkansas immediately after.
“I think it’s very important to get off to a good start. Really we’re focused on the first one,” he said. “I think opening with an opponent like Memphis, very similar to last year with an opponent like Texas Tech, I think the guys prepare because they know they have a very good team to get ready for.
