A New Playbook

From what we have gathered thus far into spring practice there is a lot to look forward to for Ole Miss football from the past two seasons. New offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez apparently has a much thicker playbook than former OC Phil Longo who is now at UNC. From what we gather there has been a major focus on quarterbacks and other skill positions learning the Rich Rod playbook.

This bodes well for Ole Miss football fans who have grown weary of the OM ‘spread’ over the past two seasons. Now the Rebels have an OC with an actual playbook and surely something which can produce points in the red-zone. In 2018 we watched the Rebels red-zone woes and are excited about the future. Besides the newfound offensive inspiration there are players we are watching thru the spring.
