The Offense Is Still Potent

The Ole Miss offense took on the challenge presented by the Georgia defense and won the battle. This is the kind of offense I want to see the Rebels run every game. Aggressive and high-flying.

The offensive line gave Kelly the most time I have ever seen him have, a key to the success of Ole Miss football.

Chad Kelly has one of his best days against the Bulldogs. Kelly went 18-for-24, 282 yards, and 2 touchdowns through the air. He also led the team in rushing with 53 yards on 4 attempts and a touchdown.

D’Vaughn Pennamon also emerged as a new threat at the running back position. Pennamon ran the ball 6 times for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Senior tight end Evan Engram had a day to remember. Engram finished the day with 6 receptions, 95 yards, and 1 touchdown.

Ole Miss needs to bring the offense this weekend against the Memphis Tigers.
