Powe Corner: Ole Miss beats Kentucky but doesn't cover + the return of Powe's Ed Oregon impression
All-time Rebel football great Jerrell Powe is calling an Ole Miss win over Kentucky on Saturday.
But he doesn’t expect the Rebels to cover.
Actually, his full advice? Bet the moneyline and have a good Sunday awash in your spoils, as he details in this edition of Powe Corner, a podcast in association with Talk of Champions and the Ole Miss Spirit, an affiliate of On3.
“This is a really, really good team coming in that has been coaches well for years,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said of Kentucky on the SEC Teleconference this week.
“Coach (Mark) Stoops has done a phenomenal job. Outside of Alabama and Georgia, has won more than anybody in the conference over a few years time. They’re very challenging because they play really hard, very physical. Really big plays and run a lot of formations and looks on offense. They get back arguably their best player on the team (running back Chris Rodriguez) for our game.”
Plus, Powe isn’t pressing the panic button after the Ole Miss defense failed to generate a sack in last week’s 35-27 win over Tulsa. They did have 10 quarterback pressures, among other positives.

Tulsa, in many ways, was nothing more than the end of the preseason, anyway. He expects a different level of game — both on the field and in the stands — once the Wildcats roll into town for what will be a matchup of Top 15 and undefeated teams.
Powe also brings back his Ed Orgeron impression to tell a story about why he chose Ole Miss over LSU, as well as identifies the Rebels’ current position in the SEC pecking order.
