Junior linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche took a hard fall against the Bayou Bengals this weekend, and now that fall will affect the Landshark defense for the rest of the year.
Ole Miss athletics announced this morning that the older of the Nkemdiches suffered a broken ankle in the first half of the game in Death Valley against LSU Saturday night and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
