Ole Miss Wake-Up Call: Rebels just need a win
Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly decides to throw instead of handing off to Akeem Judd as the Rebels take on the Georgia Bulldogs Saturday at Vaught-Hemmingway stadium.
The Memphis Tigers will visit Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN2 or ESPN Alternate), and there’s no sugar-coating it – this is a must-win game for the Rebels. The slight possibility that still remains of making the College Football Playoff would disappear completely with a loss to Memphis. Ole Miss (2-2, 1-1 SEC) must take care of business against the Tigers (3-0) or this season will fall short of expectations before it even reaches the halfway mark. Furthermore, consecutive years with a loss to a team from the American Athletic Conference would be nothing short of a stain on Hugh Freeze’s tenure as coach at Ole Miss. In short, losing to Memphis isn’t a palatable option and that’s saying it nicely.

Memphis has blown out their three opponents so far this season. Has this been a result of quality of competition or have the tigers been that good or both?
We’ll be more equipped to answer this question after Saturday’s game in Oxford. Because, for crying out loud, the Tigers’ first three foes are bad teams. (The drop in talent across the roster for Bowling Green was alarming to see.) Many teams have an early FCS opponent, a game to sharpen skills and clarify schemes. But then Memphis also hosted Kansas (worst team in the Big 12) and the Falcons. A very average team could go 3-0 against this trio. Now, do average teams score 77 points on 11 touchdowns by 11 different players? Do average teams finish this three-game stretch with a +8 turnover ratio? Does an average team have a quarterback who can toss six touchdown passes in a half without an interception? The Tigers have a good team, it appears. Just not as good as their first three opponents might suggest.
