When D.K. Metcalf left in the first quarter of last Saturday’s game against Arkansas with a neck injury, my first thought fell somewhere between WELP and I’m going off the grid for the next six months.
An Ole Miss offense that was dominated by superior Alabama and LSU defenses will now have to find its footing against SEC competition without its leader in receiving touchdowns and a guy who averaged 21.9 yards per catch. That’s nearly TWENTY-TWO yards per catch, fam.
One might say I was not brimming with confidence during the Arkansas game. However, much to my and everyone’s surprise, the Rebels trashed Arkansas repeatedly with a short-to-intermediate passing game and a running game that included Jordan Ta’amu in large quantities.
