The No. 10 Ole Miss football team steps back into the Vaught at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night when they take on the Memphis Tigers for the first time in five years.
Coach Hugh Freeze and the Rebels are 3-0 on the season and coming off of a bye week before a difficult five-game stretch. Last week, Ole Miss was able to give a lot of work to the second and third team players.
Junior running back I’Tavius Mathers returned to practice on Sunday which added more depth to the running backs with junior Jaylen Walton and freshman Jordan Wilkins.
Memphis is a team that can put up past points with their offense, taking the UCLA Burins to the wire in the Rose Bowl a few weeks ago.
