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).

The guys give their final, locked-in score predictions, as well as touch on, once more, the seemingly never-ending Rebel quarterback conundrum and the visitors to know this weekend.

“It’s not a hold,” Kiffin said. “We haven’t made a decision so it’s not a competitive withhold or anything. The guys are extremely even.”

Yes, they’ve got a long-overdue Recruit Check.

Let’s get after it.
