On Monday, Ole Miss was arriving at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to kickoff their 2021 season against Louisville.
Five days later, the No. 20-ranked Rebels (1-0) are playing their second game of the season and without much preparation time with only one true day spent on the practice field this week. Another hindrance was the absence of Lane Kiffin from the practice and attending any in-person meetings.
Kiffin was still going through the COVID-19 protocols after testing positive on Sept. 4, causing him to miss the Rebels season opener. He is expected to rejoin the team on the field at Vaught-Hemingway on Saturday.
