Smart move: Ole Miss needs to dial up the pressure against Austin Allen

Austin Allen is doing a respectable impression of his older brother this season, which should give Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack nightmares.

Allen’s brother, Brandon, was Arkansas’ quarterback last season and passed for 442 yards and six touchdowns in the Razorbacks’ 53-52 victory over a Rebels team that had a much more impressive defense.

Thus far, Austin hasn’t played quite as well as Brandon did last fall in his third season as a starter, but he’s not too far off. Austin’s 77.9 Total Quarterback Rating ranks 13th nationally -- under the 88.
