This week’s SEC Media Days marks the event’s first year in Atlanta and also head coach Matt Luke’s first year in attendance in his 18 seasons as an SEC player or coach.
In Luke’s opening statements, he beat the media to the punch and answered many of the questions he knew were going to be asked. One of the main issues Ole Miss faces this year is a weaker defense, specifically when defending against the run game. A defense that gave up an average of 245 yards per game last year is looking to improve greatly.
“We have to find creative ways to load the box and make people throw it over the top to beat us,” Luke said.
