Ole Miss Spring Game 2023 Preview
The Rebels finished with an 8-5 overall record last season, averaging 33.5 points a game on offense while allowing 25.5 points a game on defense.
Last year’s starting quarterback, Jaxson Dart, completed 62% of his passes for 2,974 yards, 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while also rushing for over 700 yards and a score. The Rebels boasted a dominant rushing attack led by running back Quinshon Judkins that averaged 256.6 yards per contest. Judkins finished seventh in the nation in rushing yards as a freshman with 1,567, so he’ll be one of the team’s top players to watch this coming season.
Dart will face some competition this year, with Spencer Sanders and Walker Howard also competing for the starting role. Sanders, who transferred over from Oklahoma State, and Howard, who came over from LSU this offseason, should both see action in the spring game.
In terms of what the spring game is going to look like, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said the team hadn’t made up its mind yet.
“We’re still figuring that out,” Kiffin said the week of the scrimmage, via 247 Sports. “We have a lot of injuries, a very abnormal amount. Normally, we let them draft and play it like a game versus the offense/defense format, but we’re so limited we might have to go to that. We’ll have that answer as we get closer, but we are really, really limited in our number of people and have shortened practices.”
When asked what he’d like to see from his trio of young QBs in the spring game, the Rebels coach stressed the importance of solid decision-making.
“Just to play really well,” Kiffin said. “Don’t force things. Make really good decisions. And whether you are a freshman or fifth-year player, it’s always a challenge to play really well and not try too hard.”
On defense, former Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding left his gig with the Tide to fill the same role on Kiffin’s staff. The Grove Bowl will give fans their first opportunity to see Golding’s 4-2-5 defense.
