‘This team can compete with anybody’: Welcome to Powe Corner!
All-time Ole Miss great Jerrell Powe is here for his first installment of Powe Corner, in association with the Ole Miss Spirit and Talk of Champions.
And, boy, does he have some thoughts on Ole Miss football in 2022.
Powe believes the season’s next two weeks (Tulsa and Kentucky) will tell us a lot about where the Rebels stand, and he also sees some of himself in defensive tackle JJ Pegues, the Oxford kid returned home from Auburn.
He’s been a force in the middle of a stout Ole Miss defense.
Plus, Powe’s trip to Georgia Tech, early returns for a talented stable of Rebel running backs, whether Alabama is beatable and his genuine belief in Ole Miss’ ability to run the table.
“I think we can run the table, and I know that’s a bold statement,” Powe said. “But we’re going to get better and better. We play complimentary football and don’t turn the damn ball over and I believe we can run the table.
“We’re going to get up to play Kentucky. I’m glad they made it an early (11 a.m. kickoff) game. I saw where some people were kind of pissed off. I kind of like it early because it’s home. It’s Homecoming. We need (Kentucky) to come in here sleepy so we can hit them in the mouth. We’re going to get up to play them.”
