Why Ole Miss Wins — And The One Man Who Could Ruin It | Rebels vs Louisville Week 1
from Locked On Ole Miss - Daily podcast on Ole Miss Rebels Football, Basketball & Baseball · host Locked On Podcast Network
The season is finally here. Steven Willis lays out three reasons Ole Miss beats Louisville on Sunday — and says Jeff Brohm's name in every one of them, because Brohm has built a career on beating teams that were better on paper. Two days to kickoff. No. 9 Ole Miss vs No. 24 Louisville at Nissan Stadium, Sunday night on ABC — the only ranked-versus-ranked game on the entire Week 1 schedule. ⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Why Ole Miss will win03:19 Louisville's offensive line challenges07:30 Jeff Brohm's game strategy analysis12:35 Poncho's Natty Back Guarantee15:58 Ke'Juan Brown's performance analysis18:17 Discussing key college football players21:20 Partnership with neuroscientists for Ultra25:09 Predicting Ole Miss vs. Louisville game 📌 THREE THINGS1. Why Ole Miss wins. The stars go to work against a first-time defensive play caller: Trinidad Chambliss led the entire FBS at 8.85 yards per attempt with 3,937 yards, 22 touchdowns and 173 consecutive passes without an interception, and Kewan Lacy went 306 carries for 1,567 yards and 24 scores as the first Doak Walker finalist in program history. Mark Ivey calls a defense in a real game for the first time in his career on Sunday.2. The biggest mismatch on the field. Louisville lost ten scholarship offensive linemen this offseason — the most of any position group on the roster — and returns one starter in Lance Robinson, with five transfers signed and a position coach who has had that room since February. Dalton Pence of Locked On Louisville said on this show that if Anwar O'Neal were healthy at left tackle and Robinson were at center, he probably would have picked the Cardinals.3. Keys, players and a number. Tackling Isaac Brown and his 8.8 yards per carry in the first game of the season is the hardest single ask of the day. Johntay Cook and Caleb Odom have to become factors with all four leading receivers gone. And the final score prediction, on the record: Ole Miss 28, Louisville 20. Plus what Bill Flowers and Dalton Pence predicted, why the Louisville host is picking Ole Miss anyway, and the FanDuel line that opened at 7 and moved toward Louisville. 🎙️ Todd Wade joins the show later today.
