Could Jeremiah Masoli become a harbinger of sorrow?
A Half-Dozen Hyper-Specific Predictions About…Ole Miss
Few have had an an 18 month stretch as odd as Ole Miss. From being the springboard of the Oscar run for Sandra Bullock to the springboard to Jevan Snead’s obscurity. From Dexter McCluster running on some fools to Jeremiah Masoli heading into Oxford one step ahead of the law. After last year, expectations are low coming in to the season, can the Rebels meet that?
Last Year: 9-4 (4-4) t2nd SEC West
1) Jeremiah Masoli will not be cleared to play as the season starts. It will not matter as Ole Miss will roll out to a 5-0 start. Whatever’s unsettled won’t matter. They’ll be ranked 17th in both polls.
2) Brandon Bolden will navigate the running game with aplomb. He will contend for the conference rushing title with 1374 yards rushing and a double digit amount of touchdowns. It will get him into the second round of the draft.
3) Jesse Grandy will emerge as the Dexter McCluster impersonator for the season. He will change the fate of the season with a Wildcat run against LSU. It will get them a win and a January Bowl Game.
4) When Jeremiah Masoli gets cleared, the schedule gets tough, and the Rebels will hit a speed bump going through the A-list of the SEC West. Some would call it karma, but the fact of the matter is if you’re gonna play three straight between Alabama, Arkansas, and Auburn with two on the road? Odds are you’re gonna lose three straight.
5) The SEC player most likely to become the next Jason Pierre-Paul? Wayne Dorsey. With the defensive line returning Kentrell Lockett and Jerrell Powe and all reports coming out of Oxford? 15 sacks is not out of the question.
6) The SEC West is going to be a particularly nasty division this year, you could legitimately see three ten-win teams come out of the division. But if you count the bowl games, and Ole Miss is going to have an excellent chance at being the fourth.
This year: 9-3 (5-3) 4th SEC West
