Ole Miss coaches optimistic about facing Texas Tech in opener

The Ole Miss football season inched closer to opening day on Monday with the team’s first weekly press conference of the year.

Head coach Matt Luke and his assistants took to the podium to answer questions about the Rebels’ upcoming opponent Texas Tech and discussed what to expect from the Red Raiders.

“I’m excited about game week,” Luke said. “I think it will be a really, really tough opener. I think we’ll learn a lot about our team right off the bat.”

The Rebels allowed 200 rushing yards per game last season and struggled to stop most offenses they faced.
