Challenges for Ole Miss
The Rebs need to do what they did last year in Oxford against Vanderbilt, air out the ball and pile up the points. Not that they want to run up the score on Vandy, they just don’t have a defense to stop Vandy.
Challenges for Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt just needs a solid game in all three phases. Don’t let up on gas if you get a lead. Vandy hasn’t been terrible this season, they just haven’t been able to finish in several close games.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 6:30 pm CT and can be seen on SEC Network.
