The goal for any defense is to be better than the year before and improve so that they may play at their full potential. After the Ole Miss defense ranked first in the nation in scoring defense last season, the goal will be to return to that high level of play despite the loss of some big seniors and two All-Americans in the secondary.
While the secondary certainly takes a big hit with the loss of Senquez Golson and Cody Prewitt, defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said he thinks this year’s group is the deepest he’s had while at Ole Miss and still has a lot of potential at cornerback and safety.
