John Rhys Plumlee and OM Game Plan

With our DL and LBs being beat up/out, I can't help to wonder if Kiffin has changed up his game plan a bit to attack our weaknesses. Thus far, Ole Miss has had zero reason to use Plumlee out of the backfield like they did last year. Corral has been lights out. 76% completion, 9 touchdowns, 1080 yards in 3 games. With Arkansas' DBs playing at an unprecedented (by Hog standards) level, I'm curious to see how OM's game plan compares to their past 3 games.

Check out JRP's highlights from last year. That dude is unreal when he breaks the line of scrimmage. Faster than any defensive player we will have on the field. Should he play and their game plan resemble what I think it will, we will have to make sure we have pursuit angles on him at all times. He is a split second away from hitting that third tier and being GONE!

First Impressions Every Week 4 Game

Ole Miss vs. Arkansas — Win or lose, hats off to these first-year coaches
I’ve been impressed. Arkansas would be 2-1 if not for a botched Bo Nix spike call. Ole Miss, on the other hand, is seemingly scoring points at will. Lane Kiffin and Sam Pittman would both be on the short list for SEC Coach of the Year so far. Kiffin’s offense is averaging 42 points per game. That came against 3 defenses I ranked among the top 4 in the SEC heading into 2020. Like, the same offense that was totally 1-dimensional last year. Arkansas, on the other hand, hasn’t allowed any SEC offense to hit 30 points (if you take away special teams/defensive touchdowns/safeties).




The Kiffin vs. Barry Odom battle should be a good one. What are the odds that Arkansas winds up being the most disciplined defense that Ole Miss has faced so far? What a crazy thought.

SDS predicts the Arkansas/Ole Miss game

Ole Miss (-1.5) at Arkansas

Michael: All of a sudden, after exposing Alabama’s defense last weekend in Oxford, Ole Miss is the darling of the SEC. The Rebel offense has been outstanding all season, but guess who practices against a very similar scheme each week in practice? Barry Odom’s Arkansas defense. Now, that doesn’t mean the Razorbacks are going to completely shut down Matt Corral and company but I bet they perform better than expected in this matchup. Feleipe Franks is playing some of the best football of his career right now for Kendal Briles and players like Trelon Smith and De’Vion Warren have emerged in the offense. Don’t be stunned if the better offense in this game comes from the home sideline. After Ole Miss had the game of its life on offense last weekend, I anticipate a bit of a let down in this one.

Chris: This is another game where the line may have been skewed by recency bias. It’s also lowkey one of the best matchups of the week. Ole Miss was dangerously close to pulling off the upset vs Alabama last weekend, and has one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Arkansas, should be 2-1 and has one of the most improved teams, and defenses, in the country.

Kiffin has been really good against the spread covering in 12 of his last 17 as a head coach, and Sam Pittman’s squad is 3-0 ATS this season as well. Arkansas has covered in 6 of the last 7 between these schools, and I am very worried about their 11th ranked rush defense in the conference against this Ole Miss attack. I’m also worried about how much the Hogs can score to keep pace with Matt Corral and Lane Kiffin’s offense. But, not as much as I’m worried about who from Ole Miss is even making the trip due to the recent COVID issues they’ve had in Oxford. Feleipe Franks has completed 72% of his passes with 6 TDs and 0 INTs the last 2 games. I’m taking the Hogs at home and couldn’t be less confident.
