The University of Mississippi:
2010 Record: 4-8, 1-7 in SEC West
Returning Starters: 15 (9 on offense, 4 on defense, K and P)
Significant Coaching Changes: David Lee Offensive Coordinator (previously with Miami Dolphins as QB Coach)
Preseason Projections: Most people have them about 5th place in a strong SEC West and making it to a bowl game.
Key Returners: The Offensive Line (average 6'5" 331 lbs, 66 starts, with a ton of size and experience on the second string too), RB Brandon Bolden (976 yards, 14 TDs), WRs Melvin Harris and Ja-Mes Logan (795 yards, 5 TDs), FS Damien Jackson (68 Tackles, 4.5 Tackles For Loss, 4 Pass Breakups)
Key Losses: The rest of the defense, the top two QBs, and their KR/PR
There will be a more in-depth analysis on Ole Miss coming to Mo Knows soon, but these are the important facts that most people want to know. Clearly the strength of the team is the O-Line and Running Game as they return the entire 2-deep on the O-Line and the top 3 RBs. The defense is green, but that doesn't mean it will not be good. Last year it was poor, but under Tyrone Nix it has typically been a top 20 defense nationally.
I fully anticipate BYU to be favored in the game, but that doesn't mean much, especially in June!
learned a lot
