Talk of Champions: It’s Ole Miss vs. Everybody as the SEC gauntlet opens

The No. 6-ranked Ole Miss football Rebels are 4-0 and open SEC play this weekend against Kentucky on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT on ABC.

Ole Miss gave up its first touchdown of the season to Georgia Southern, leaving Georgia as last remaining team in college football that hasn’t. But the Rebels still wrecked the Eagles, the best team they’ve played so far, and again without necessarily playing all that well.

I remember when Hugh Freeze was raising the bar for the Rebels in the modern era and still struggled with Georgia Southern. These Rebels are different, while Freeze is showing over at Auburn he hasn’t changed a bit.

Ole Miss is superior to Kentucky, but as dominant as the Rebels have been, they still have areas to clean up. The Rebels have figure out the penalties, for example. They entered the weekend 14th in the SEC and racked up the flags and north of 100 yards of penalties against Georgia Southern.

Those are the kind of unforced errors — removing helmets, etc. — that can sink a contender, especially when the sloppiness comes during an 11 a.m. kick. Remember the Jefferson Pilot days? Chaos reigns on game-day mornings.

But in Lane Kiffin the Rebels trust. Sure, Freeze changed things. He recruited at a level the program had never seen before. He took the Ed Orgeron playbook and perfected it. Orgeron dared to ask, ‘Why not Ole Miss?’ Hugh Freeze dared to say, ‘Of course Ole Miss.’

Lane Kiffin is saying: Ole Miss vs. Everybody. It’s the natural next step in the Ole Miss program ascension.
