Ole Miss prepares for Charlotte following narrow win over Louisville

No. 9 Ole Miss is preparing to host Charlotte following a narrow 41-38 victory over No. 24 Louisville. The Rebels secured the win against Louisville via a last-second field goal by Lucas Carneiro.

Despite the win, the performance against Louisville highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. Analysts noted that the Ole Miss defense allowed 240 yards after contact, citing poor tackling from the defensive back unit and incorrect pursuit angles by the defensive line. The offense also experienced stagnation during the first half of the Louisville game.

Looking ahead to the matchup against Charlotte, staff predictions suggest a significant margin of victory for Ole Miss. However, there are concerns regarding defensive consistency and the need to avoid injuries ahead of future matchups.
