Ole Miss Rebels seek recovery following loss to Florida

The Ole Miss Rebels are utilizing a bye week to address defensive and offensive concerns following a 52-28 loss to Florida. Head coach Pete Golding is considering personnel changes, particularly within the linebacker and defensive back corps, to stabilize a defense that struggled significantly in recent play.

Offensively, the team is looking to regain balance through the health of star running back Kewan Lacy. Lacy, currently sidelined with a shoulder injury, has been missed in the running game, leading to a high-volume passing attack led by Trinidad Chambliss.

Key players facing scrutiny or looking for momentum ahead of the upcoming Vanderbilt game include linebacker Suntarine Perkins, wide receiver Traylon Ray, and defensive players such as Keaton Thomas and Luke Ferrelli. The Rebels face a demanding schedule with seven of their next eight games being SEC opponents.
