Franchise Player: Game Day Eve Eve for Ole Miss football, Lane Kiffin and the Wild Thornberrys
Happy Game Day Eve Eve! Ole Miss football is set to open the 2022 season against Troy Saturday at 3 p.m. CT.
Kickoff, after, let’s be honest, a torturously long month, is all but upon us.
“Excited to play at home and potentially keep our home winning streak alive,” now-third-year head coach Lane Kiffin said, during the SEC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday.
“Hope we have a great crowd. Got a lot of new players that haven’t been around here. So, pretty exciting for them but we need to play really well against a really good opponent.”
Good thing, too.
Ben Garrett and David Johnson have never been more in need of football than they are in today’s edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

Yes, they’ve got a long-overdue Recruit Check.
Let’s get after it.
