Five minutes into the third quarter of a blowout win over Louisiana-Monroe, the future of Ole Miss football took the snap. With two of his offensive linemen swinging to the left on pull blocks, Matt Corral stuck the ball into the gut of his running back and eyed the intentionally unblocked ULM defensive end. The play was a read-option, meaning the star freshman quarterback had a decision to make: hand the ball off to his running back if the D-end stayed outside or keep it himself if the D-end crashed down. The wrong read could leave Corral completely exposed with a 240-pound defender charging at him.
