DANGER! Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin MUST avoid these LANDMINES to make a playoff run
Episode 2173
🏈 Ole Miss faces three critical "landmines" on their path to the 2025 playoffs! Host Steven Willis breaks down the Rebels' challenges and opportunities.
Analytics overuse threatens Ole Miss' success. Can the Rebels learn to play as favorites without injecting momentum into close games? Willis argues analytics cost them shots against LSU and Florida last year.
🛡️ Defensive back concerns loom large. With key players like Trey Amos and John Saunders gone, will Jaylon Braxton, Chris Graves, and TJ Banks step up? Lane Kiffin's spring worries about this unit could make or break the season.
🎯 All eyes on quarterback Austin Simmons. How will he handle the pressure? Willis advises against "hero ball" and draws cautionary parallels to Micheal Spurlock post-Eli Manning era.
Don't miss this insider look at Ole Miss football's playoff aspirations! Can they navigate these challenges and secure a spot in the 2025 playoffs?
