Franchise Player: Lane Kiffin won't say Jaxson Dart is starting at Georgia Tech, so we will
Either Lane Kiffin has a killer poker face or he’s genuinely undecided on Ole Miss’ starting quarterback for Georgia Tech.
Because all signs point to Jaxson Dart.
Actually, as Chuck Rounsaville wrote recently, we at the Ole Miss Spirit and elsewhere are “comfortable saying” it’ll be Dart that gets the nod for the Rebels’ first road test in 2022.
“I think he’ll be alright,” Kiffin said of Altmyer earlier this week. “We’re just going to push forward with the way that we’ve been going.
“We’re 2-0. So, we’ll figure out who goes first at some point later in the week.”
Luke Altmyer was as limited as limited could be in the four practice periods the media was allowed to view on Tuesday.
Altmyer tweaked his shoulder in his start on Saturday, a blowout Ole Miss (2-0) win over Central Arkansas. Dart stepped in with less than a minute left in the second quarter and only left (for third-teamer Kinkead Dent) once the game was out of hand.
Altmyer, meanwhile, was never seen again.
Ben Garrett and David Johnson discuss in an all-new edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).
