Josh Heupel vs Lane Kiffin
A thought that occurred to me is that Heupel’s offense may have similar statistical metrics as Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss offense. Ole miss ranked 1st in the conference in 2020 for rushing offense, 3rd in the conference for passing offense, 1st in the conference in total offense, and 3rd in the conference in scoring offense.
They ranked first in the conference at 79.7 plays per game on offense and #13 in average time of possession per game.
Their defense ranked last in the conference in total defense, last in rushing defense, 13th in pass defense, and 13th in scoring defense. They also ranked 13th for the number of plays by the defense, 2nd most just behind Arkansas.
I think the problem in 2020 with Ole miss was their defensive line, the unit that I’ve been claiming will likely be the strength of our defense this year. jmo.
According to Football outsiders the Ole Miss defensive line ranked #116 in the nation in 2020. Ours was a bit better even without a coach, at #45. Their pass defense efficiency rating was just ahead of ours; They were 10th best, we were 11th best. Teams passed on Ole Miss 38.7 times per game and ran against them 39.1 times per game. For us we faced a pass 31.4 times per game and a run 38.5 times per game. We were ranked 5th in average yards per attempt allowed on the ground while Ole Miss was ranked 13th.
On the third Saturday in October this year Ole Miss is coming to Neyland Stadium and I think Rodney Garner’s guys may win the game for us if they can slow down Lane’s ground game otherwise we’re most likely going to have a shootout on the river. jmo.
