The Ole Miss defense is coming off of its best performance of the season, in which they were able to keep an explosive Texas A&M offense out of the end zone.
“I think the energy and the enthusiasm that we played with was real big. It was exciting,”
Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. “Now you hook onto the fact that you’re one step closer. We’ve still got four difficult games, but we have to look at it one game at a time.”
The Ole Miss secondary has struggled since Tony Conner tore his meniscus against Alabama, but responded on Saturday, only allowing Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen to pass for 88 yards.
