Eagle Aerial Attack

Fans expecting Georgia Southern to run the ball 59 times like they did at The Vaught in 2016 will be sorely disappointed. The Eagles rank No. 22 in the nation with 37.0 pass attempts per game, just ahead of the Ole Miss offense at 36.7. Quarterback JC French, a transfer from Memphis, will challenge a Rebel secondary that has, if anything, been the weak point in the defense this season.

Rebel Rush

While Ole Miss’ biggest defensive concern is likely the passing attack, Georgia Southern’s might be the ground game. The Eagles are third-to-last in the nation, allowing 236.7 rushing yards per game. They’ll have to contend with an Ole Miss ground game that ranks No. 12 nationally at 257.7 yards per contest, led by running back Henry Parrish Jr., who is No. 13 nationally with a per-game average of 112.7 rushing yards.

Empty End Zone

Ole Miss is still yet to allow a touchdown this season. The Rebels are tied for No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense, tied with Ohio State, only giving up an average of 3.0 points per game. Will the Rebel defense continue the streak against a Georgia Southern offense that is in the top 25 nationally with 14 touchdowns scored through three games?

Well-Coached Foe

Lane Kiffin heaped praise on the character and competency of Georgia Southern coach Clay Helton in his weekly press conference. Helton earned his first major break in the coaching industry when Kiffin hired him to USC in 2010. Lane went on to explain that his father, the late Monte Kiffin, brought Helton, then at Arkansas State, to his attention. Helton went on to be the head coach of the Trojans and even recruited Jaxson Dart to Los Angeles.
