In a statement victory over Vanderbilt, receiver Osirus Mitchell shined on the homecoming stage.
At 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, Mitchell’s height advantage creates an immediate mismatch along the sidelines. As he found the end zone and was a headache for the Commodores’ defensive backfield, Mitchell has begun to return to form, having imposed his will all game.
Following his career day against LSU with 183 yards and two touchdowns, there has been a drop off. And although Mitchell’s stat line did not jump off the screen yesterday, his four receptions for 32 yards were vital and are a positive sign of things to come.
