It’s Week 2, and we’re already in “game of the year” territory.
It’s not too early to say that the loser of Saturday’s game in Oxford is probably not going to a bowl. The losing coach might even begin to feel a warming seat: fans these days aren’t as patient as they used to be.
Ole Miss’ position seems to be a little more dire. Unlike Chad Morris, coach Matt Luke inherited a fairly stable program and has gone just 11-14 (4-12 in SEC games). The Rebels lost their last four games in 2018, ran off both coordinators, and then saw a new-look offense fall flat in a 15-10 loss to historic regional “rival” Memphis.
