Ole Miss Rebels Offensive Preview

Breaking down Ole Miss offensively at this point in the season is a bit of a fruitless task. Matt Corral started the season as QB1, but struggled to find any consistency or success in offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez’s system. If you remember RichRod from his West Virginia and Arizona days — yes, we’re ignoring Michigan for the moment — you can probably conjure images of smaller quarterbacks and running backs running the zone read from the shotgun. You can recall them RPO-ing defenses to death in a warp-drive option-inspired attack that kept defenses guessing and gassed. Corral was a great passer but couldn’t make much noise on the ground: enter John Rhys Plumlee, 2019’s 7th-best dual-threat quarterback.
