‘This (Ole Miss) team is going to be tough to beat’: Back to Powe Corner!
The undefeated No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels (5-0, 1-0 SEC) will look to continue their winning ways Saturday at Vanderbilt (3-2, 0-1).
All-time Ole Miss great Jerrell Powe — like Vegas, which has the Rebels favored by 18 — is expecting a relatively easy win. But where should you put your money?
Powe’s the one to ask. Last week he totally called Ole Miss winning, but not covering, against then-No. 7 Kentucky.
“We got a road test coming up,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said Wednesday on the weekly SEC Teleconference call.
“We have not been on the road very much this year. This will be our second time we have to handle all that goes with that. Avoiding a hangover from a very physical, emotional game and not listening to outside noise. Team is focusing on practicing very well and playing very well against a much-improved team.”
Plus, Powe, the one-time Rebel defensive tackle‘s thoughts on the lack of involvement for tight end Michael Trigg (“Baby Tony Gonzalez”), Ole Miss not playing down to Vanderbilt, Quinshon Judkins looking like the second-coming of Trent Richardson and much more.
“I would like to see him more involved,” Powe said of Trigg, in this edition of Powe Corner, in association with the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Talk of Champions.
“I want to see him get active. Over the years, we’ve utilized our tight end a lot. I want to see (Trigg) get going.”
