Ole Miss Football’s Surprising Rise: Can They Silently Shock the Nation This Season?
You’d think this is a nationally elite running game, but the overall picture is a little bit more complicated. It’s hard to say just how much the run has helped Ole Miss to date.
With sacks filtered out, Ole Miss is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, tied (with 2023’s rate) for its lowest amount under Kiffin. The ground game has been somewhat efficient, with a 48.1% rushing success rate that ranks fourth in the SEC. The home runs haven’t been there, though: Ole Miss is ninth in the league in explosive run rate (6.3%) and its nine carries of 20-plus yards are tied for sixth in the SEC.Â
