Central Arkansas vs Ole Miss Preview
Coming off a week one loss to Missouri State by a score of 27-14, Central Arkansas is looking to bounce back against Ole Miss, who defeated Troy 28-10 in week one. Ole Miss, however, is favored by almost five touchdowns, so this one may get out of hand early. But Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said in his pre-game press conference (via The DM Online) that as they play better teams, they’ll have to tighten up.
“As we play better teams, we wouldn’t have been able to get away with some of the things that happened in the game [in week one]. Especially the three turnovers in one half of football,” said Kiffin, adding, “It forced our guys to play a little longer than maybe we would’ve wanted to, but also got them in shape. So they had to play longer and play in that heat.”
He also said (via The Rebel Walk) that they have to own up to “the good, bad and ugly of the game” from week one.
“There’s some loafs in there, there’s some not effort that we’re looking for, and like I said — nothing against other places as everyone does things different — so I’m not saying we do it better, but we’re trying to break some habits. People just coach different on certain things, and I told them a couple of you guys come from other places and this is your one game. Alright, we told you it, you screwed up, you have to break these habits, or you know your playing time’s going to suffer,” said Kiffin.
In his own pre-game press conference (via Yahoo Sports), Central Arkansas head coach Nathan Brown praised his team’s defense in week one.
“I thought our defense played a whale of a game,” said Brown. “They held their offense to 20 points and held them to field goals. Just played really, really good all night. So I’m really encouraged in that aspect. … We’ll get better from this. The fun part about that is, you get to go play Ole Miss now. That’s a little bit of a daunting task, but again, one we’ll be excited about.”
