If roughly every football cliché ever is to be believed, it's damn near impossible to win unless you first win the battle up front. With three years of recruiting and development behind him, can the Ole Miss O-line coach field a unit that helps the Rebels go the distance?
Perhaps Hugh Freeze has done Matt Luke and the Ole Miss offensive line a disservice. Freeze has coached, recruited, repurposed, and redeveloped a ragtag roster into an SEC contender in three short years, while Luke's offensive line has generally been credited with two late-season collapses. A running game that has produced 2nd-and-11 more often than 2nd-and-6, along with an unreliable pocket for Bo Wallace, has left many fans miffed at Matt Luke's inability to mirror the miracles that Freeze has been performing elsewhere.
