As spring practice winds down for Ole Miss football, the general takeaways from the last month are awash in generalities because Pete Golding and company ainât here to play specifics.
However, if you read between the lines and have your double secret sources, the general takeaways align with the questions we had going into the spring. As we assumed:
- Finding two starting offensive tackles* will be an ongoing process
- Defense has a chance to be good, but they need consistency
- Overall, the team is a work in progress, which any coach in America would also say
*Carius Curne deciding to be an idiot and get himself arrested may have sorted this process out a little. Curne would not have started if the season began last week, but he may have the highest ceiling among the tackle options. We can also assume heâs officially out of chances due to noted idiocy combined with his less than diplomatic approach to endearing himself to teammates and coaches.
While we could keep speaking in generalities and use phrases like âthe light needs to come on,â âheâs flashed,â and âhe may have turned a corner,â letâs not. Preseason practice (donât call it fall camp!) will reveal the truth about every player.
