He Says We Win By 13 | Todd Wade On Ole Miss vs Louisville Week 1

Todd Wade — Ole Miss legend and NFL veteran — says the thing nobody's saying about Louisville's rebuilt offensive line: the cost isn't just protection. It's leadership. Two days to kickoff. No. 9 Ole Miss vs No. 24 Louisville at Nissan Stadium, 7:30 ET Sunday night on ABC — the only ranked-versus-ranked game on the Week 1 schedule. ⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Challenges with Offensive Line Changes03:51 Importance of team leadership roles08:21 Discussing game strategy and rankings11:44 Poncho's versatile Ole Miss shirts15:43 Improving the running game17:22 Potential in the running game22:00 First game expectations and predictions23:36 Looking forward to the new season 📌 THREE THINGS1. People assume the quarterback leads a football team. Wade's experience says everyone looks to the big guys — and if the offensive line is complacent, confused, or not making its calls out loud, the quarterback doesn't feel the comfort he had a year ago. Louisville is starting a quarterback making his first career start behind a line that lost ten scholarship players. Wade has lived the smaller version of this himself, graduating alongside Tutan Reyes and watching Ole Miss shuffle guards out to tackle.2. His critique of Ole Miss is specific and it isn't flattery. The pass protection was good all of last season. The push wasn't. They were playing too high. What he wants Sunday is a four-yard rush average and moving chains — not explosives — because that takes the pressure off Trinidad Chambliss and changes what defenses can do the rest of the way.3. Why he isn't panicked about right tackle. He expects Tommy Kinsler to settle in, and points out that Patrick Kutas next to him matters more than people realize — the guard makes a lot of the calls alongside the center, and having an experienced SEC veteran there gives a new tackle confidence. If it were a new right guard AND a new right tackle, that would worry him. Plus his read on Isaac Brown in space, why the first two drives tell you everything, and a final score. 🦈 EVERYDAYER CLUB — Locked On Ole Miss ad-free, plus members-only Discord. 7-day free trial: https://lockedonolemiss.supercast.com🌐 THE OLE MISS HUB — https://olemisshub.com💬 THE LOOM PRIVATE DISCORD, FREE — https://discord.gg/KF3dtcQJhC🎧 EVERY PLATFORM — https://link.chtbl.com/LOOleMiss?sid=YouTube 🎙️ Locked On Bets has this game Saturday morning.
