ATLANTA — The Ole Miss offense performed as expected, minus a couple setbacks, while the defense showed potential improvement had been made in its season opener on Monday.
They did all this without Lane Kiffin even in the state of Georgia.
The Rebels defeated Louisville 43-24 in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, kicking off what could be a promising 2021 campaign.
Questions lingered on both sides of the ball for the Rebels entering the season and some of those might have been answered in Atlanta. The biggest question on offense all offseason and fall camp was who would be the receiver, or receivers, to step up and fill the void left by Elijah Moore.
