It's helluva lot better than M00 U. vs. Memphis in the B'ham Bowl.Ole Miss vs Tx Tech in the Liberty That's not making my night . The hell with that projection.
there are other "reputable" publications that have the Rebels going to a better bowl.
Meaningless this time of year.Ole Miss vs Tx Tech in the Liberty That's not making my night . The hell with that projection.
Defense has great overall talent, but is questionable at linebacker where we lost 3 seniors. Offense has questions at every position except receiver. O line has been problematic since Coach Freeze was hired. Running game...Who? Quarterback? Buchanan? Kincade? Kelly? Kelly's never played a down of SEC ball.
In my opinion, it starts with the O-line. Depth and overall talent has been a problem since Freeze arrived in Oxford. If they progress, then our QB and RB's have a chance. If not, it may be a long season. Games AT Bama, Auburn, and MS STake add to the degree of difficulty.
6 or 7 wins and a Liberty Bowl bid, however disappointing, is not outside the realm of possibility.
OL depth has been issue forever. We have rarely signed the top players (Tunsil exception), and IMHO, in never enough numbers. Due to injury, attrition, or missevalution, signing 3-4 on any given year will run risk of not having adequate depth. It has been stated many times how long it takes to build an effective OL, and constantly having to shuffle personnel due to depth problems further complicates the process. P.S. Freeze made the smart move rebuilding a strong defense first. Now, hopefully he can do the same on offense.
