Let’s not mince words here.
Saturday’s loss at Florida was bad in every sense of the word. The Rebels were manhandled up front by Florida’s defensive line, which led to the inability to establish a running game as well as not giving Chad Kelly time to throw downfield.
The defense was on the field for too long, partly because of the offense’s inability to move the ball and partly on their own merit, allowing Florida to go 8-for-16 on third down conversions.
These deficiencies coupled with allowing four turnovers on the road in the Southeastern Conference is a recipe for getting beaten and in Ole Miss’s case, getting beaten handily.
