Omar Speights will be in the rotation. He's 100%, but he won't see a full workload against Ole Miss' fast temp offense.
Says he's seen Brian Thomas become a much more mature player and man this offseason, and he knew he'd become a guy they could count on.
Ole Miss has committed to up tempo offense and has been running with Jaxon Dart more. He said it's tough to defend a mobile QB, so it adds a new dimension to their offense.
Pass rush lanes, not tackling in the open field and busted coverage has cost them on third down defense. Said they drilled down hard on those fundamentals in this week of practice.
Aaron Anderson had a bit of a hamstring injury today and didn't finish practice. Said it didn't look too bad, but said hamstrings are hamstrings and he'll update his status on gameday.
Thinks Quinshon Judkins has been banged up a bit this year, combine that with Dart's emergence as a runner and he thinks that's why he's had a slow start.
Highlights Ole Miss' explosiveness. Says they do a really good job setting up the deep shot with runs and underneath routes. Their focus will be minimizing those big plays.
Says Maason Smith is playing well in the middle of the D-line. He's playing a different role playing outside the 3 and 5 technique so he isn't able to get some of those flashy plays he made in his freshman season.
