It is not often that a football team puts 76 points on the scoreboard in a game. It is less often that a football team does so and feels like they lost the game. After the 76-41 win over Southern Illinois in which the Rebels gave up more yards than any SEC team ever has against an FCS team, that is exactly what is happening.
The Rebels were losing at the half, the offense looks like the best in the nation, the defense looks extremely weak and fans don’t know what to expect. Quite simply, distractions are mounting.
