My, oh my, how things can change.
The Ole Miss defense turned things around this season in a major way, going from a historically awful unit to one that held 9 of 12 opponents to 26 or fewer points. The defense was the difference in many of the team’s huge wins this season - with the team and coaches earning significant praise.
But now the regular season is over, so the question becomes, “can they do it again?”
After all, many of the best players on the defense were seniors or transfers. Most of them will be gone, and the defense will have to establish a new identity.
