Ole Miss Rebels

In 2018 the Ole Miss Rebels offense has put up 291 points which averages to 41.57 points per game. The Rebels have amassed 3,093 yards of total offense with 1,407 coming on the ground and 2,496 coming thru the air. The Rebels are averaging 557.6 yards of total offense each game and there is little doubt the Rebels will have some success against the Tigers. How much will be enough to win the match-up?

Coaches Luke and Longo know they need to make a strong statement against the Tigers defense early and keep their foot on the gas in order to take control of the game. We know the Rebels offense can score quickly but a few times we’ve seen the offense slow down.

Coach Phil Longo needs to turn QB Jordan Ta’amu and the NWO loose early and let Jordan carry the offense at his own pace. When the Rebels control the game they play much better and we really don’t want to have to try to play against the Tigers from 17 points down.
