Ole Miss played their second game of the season on Saturday night when FCS opponent Central Arkansas traveled to Oxford. The Rebels took care of business, winning 59-3 in commanding fashion. Here are three takeaways from the game:
Talent Gap
This game was over before it started. The talent gap between these rosters is massive and was apparent from the opening kickoff.
In the past four recruiting classes, Central Arkansas’s highest-rated recruit was ranked 1649th nationally (per ON3). In the past four NFL drafts, the Bears have had just one player selected.
The Rebels exposed the lack of talent across from them by scoring 28 points in the first quarter, blocking a pair of punts and generally being more dominant in all phases of the game.
