SCOUTING THE OFFENSE
Ole Miss' rushing offense has struggled in recent weeks, slipping to 11th in the SEC with 145 yards per game. A lot of that has to do with the inconsistency at quarterback and the lack of a dependable passing threat. Ethan Flatt has been a decent passer at times and Robert Lane appears to be an effective runner, but both still have a lot to prove.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE
Ole Miss continues to struggle against the pass, ranking last in the SEC by allowing 225 passing yards per game. Then Arkansas came out and ran through Ole Miss for 297 yards, blowing another hole in the Rebels' defense and converting 9 of 16 third-down plays into first downs.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We are not a very good football team right now, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a very solid football program. We still have a chance to salvage some of the season, but it's going to take effort from everyone involved." -- Ole Miss coach David Cutcliffe.
