Mother Nature won’t be around to help The Citadel try and shock the world with a win against No. 6 Ole Miss.
Saturday’s weather forecast for Oxford doesn’t include any storm or rain. From the National Weather Service, “Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 75. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph.”
That forecast changes for Saturday night, but with a noon kickoff, the Rebels and Bulldogs should be done long before anyone has to break out a poncho or umbrella.
Ole Miss is heavily favored to beat its FCS foe this week (see odds below) and this week offers the Rebels a chance to work on certain parts of its own game.
“We talked about really focusing on ourselves with walk through today and then two really physical practices the next two days to improve. We got a lot to work on,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said. “(The Citadel is a) really disciplined team. Defensively, they’re multiple, do different things. Offensively, they really present challenge to your keys in the run game and they do a really good job.”
