Ole Miss and now-full-time starter Jaxson Dart welcome Kentucky on Saturday

Ole Miss football has won 16 of its last 19 games, including 12 straight at home.

So, what’s with all the current hand-wringing?

The Rebels, to be fair, didn’t inspire much confidence in their lackluster 35-27 win over Tulsa on Saturday. But Ben Garrett and David Johnson are feeling a little bit better on this Monday than they did in the immediate Tulsa aftermath.

Actually, one believes Jaxson Dart, officially the full-time Ole Miss starter at quarterback, could be in line for the best game of his young Rebel career against Kentucky.

Ben and David discuss in this Overreaction Monday edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

Plus, thoughts on the hot-again Ole Miss football attendance debate and the Rebels rolling out RealTree-themed uniforms for the Wildcats, as well as an extensive early-week injury report.

“Our players and coaches are excited to partner with Realtree and wear this unique new helmet and gear,” Kiffin said in a statement. “I appreciate Bill, Tyler and the entire Realtree team for all they have done and continue to do for our program. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this great collaboration.”
