Kiffin not impressed with defense’s progress after first camp scrimmage

One week of fall camp is in the books and it was capped with Ole Miss’ first scrimmage, which did not bring shining reviews for one side of the football.

Knowing improvements are needed after last season’s performance, the Rebel defense did not give head coach Lane Kiffin much to praise after Sunday’s scrimmage inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

On the opening drive, Matt Corral found Braylon Sanders for a deep pass that set up a touchdown. From there it was only worse for the defense during the morning scrimmage.

“Not impressed with the defense. It happens when you scrimmage yourself,” Kiffin said following the practice.
