Rebels Regroup After Scrimmage
Ole Miss Makes Corrections From Scrimmage
OXFORD,
Miss. – Coming off the team’s first full-scale scrimmage, Ole Miss
returned to preseason football practice Sunday evening to correct
mistakes.
The Rebels spent part of the day reviewing film of
Saturday’s scrimmage before taking to the practice fields for 90
minutes, working in shorts and shoulder pads on corrections, special
teams and conditioning.
“After looking at the film, we still
have a long ways to go,” said head coach Houston Nutt. “I was pleased
with some things and not very pleased with some other things. But
that’s why we have camp."
Nutt noted several defensive players that stood out from the scrimmage.
“Wayne
Dorsey did some good things, and Kentrell Lockett intercepts a ball for
us,” Nutt said. “There were some big hits. C.J. Johnson and Ralph
Williams were very consistent. Brishen Mathews and Damien Jackson were
hitters.”
The quarterback race continues into week two of the preseason, and Nutt saw too many miscues in Saturday’s competition.
“The
quarterbacks still have to keep coming,” he said. “They made too many
mistakes. They have to take care of the ball. They have to make good
decisions and stay out of disasters.”
Freshman cornerback
Senquez Golson did not practice with the squad Sunday, as he traveled
to Boston to meet with the Red Sox regarding their offer to sign a
professional baseball contract. Nutt said the eighth-round pick plans
to make his decision Monday morning.
Preseason drills continue for the Rebels Monday, and practices are closed to the public.
Meet
The Rebels Day is set for Saturday, Aug. 20 in the Indoor Practice
Facility on campus. The event, which begins with lunch at noon,
includes autograph opportunities with the football, soccer and
volleyball teams, raffles for tickets and other prizes, shopping for
official team gear and an open scrimmage in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
