Although the 2020 regular season lacked a game in which Ole Miss cashed in on a host of chances to pull off an upset in Year One of the Lane Kiffin era, it did establish that competency, after a multiple-year journey in the wilderness, returned to the football program. The reward for said return is a January bowl game in Florida for the first time since 1991*.
Whether Ole Miss wins or loses on Saturday isn’t important, though winning and hollerin’ about it is way more fun, because we’ve already seen what we needed to see in 2020.
