Ole Miss Faces Auburn Without Key Player
28 Oct
Summary
- Ole Miss lost to Texas due to an inability to overcome significant deficits.
- Running back Kewan Lacy will not play in the upcoming game.
- Former Auburn players Fields and Crawford have been solid additions for Ole Miss.
The Auburn Tigers are set to play an important SEC road game against the No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels this week. A key storyline for Ole Miss is the absence of running back Kewan Lacy, who will not participate in the upcoming game. Despite this loss, the team expects contributions from backups Makhi Frazier and JT Lindsey, with Shekai Mills-Knight also slated for increased carries.
Ole Miss is looking to rebound after a recent loss to Texas, where their inability to overcome significant deficits was highlighted. Coach Pete Golding emphasized the need for greater consistency from the team. The Rebels have also benefited from the transfer portal, with former Auburn players Horatio Fields and Jay Crawford making an impact.
Fields has been a notable addition, becoming the team's second-leading receiver behind Deuce Alexander. As Auburn prepares to face Ole Miss, Byrum Brown is identified as a player to watch due to the Rebels' sometimes vulnerable rushing defense and inconsistent pass rush. For Ole Miss to secure a victory, they must limit turnovers, a critical factor in their strong home-game performance.
