It's easy to forget that Houston Nutt actually fielded a couple of pretty good football teams in 2008 and 2009. While inconsistency and depth plagued these two teams, they had more in common with Hugh Freeze's teams than you might suspect: a gunslinger QB, NFL talent at receiver, mid-level talent on the OL, and a terrifying defensive line. One of the biggest differences turned out to be the secondary. Well-coached and experienced, the Rebel secondary was almost certainly the best unit in the country under Freeze in 2014. It took a step back in 2015, however, and risks taking another if it can't replace Trae Elston and Mike Hilton.
