"Ole Miss vs Central Arkansas Prediction, Line
Ole Miss 48, Central Arkansas 10
Line: Ole Miss -34, o/u: 65
ATS Confidence out of 5: 2"
Seems obvious that Ole Miss as a normally solid SEC team has good talent, good coaching and plenty of experience....a 28-10 over Troy maybe disappointed Rebs fans...based on the 2021 end of season ratings Troy at home would be favored to beat UCA by 14 .....
Would not surprise me if UCA defense plays well and gives Ole Miss lots of problems thru Q3...depth on a warm night will eventually come into play.....those extra 23 FBS scholarships are real....it would really help the D if the offense can sustain some drives and put some points of the board....
What we absolutely cannot do and have any expectations of good results is for Bears to beat Bears with penalties, turnovers, missed tackles, missed blocks and special team breakdowns....make Ole Miss win and not give them short fields....
I will be looking for offense to figure out how to throw more effectively which probably means better protection via roll outs, misdirection, wheel routes, etc. and keep Ole Miss off balance....Ken Hatfield won many games with misdirection plays.....saw them run about 15 straight traps for 5 yards not using the same hole twice in a row....LBs had no idea where to fill next....
...and let's not get serious injuries as we have to start winning the following week for sure....
Go Bears!!
PS.....have some success throwing and Hale and James may have big nights running...
