Good morning, Everydayers. We are just two days from kickoff: No. 9 Ole Miss (5-1, 2-1 SEC) hosts Missouri this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network, and the Rebels roll into Vaught-Hemingway fresh off a 52-17 romp at Vanderbilt. It is a reunion game — a few familiar faces are wearing Tiger gold now — and Trinidad Chambliss’s offense still insists it has not put together a full four quarters yet this season. If it finally does, Missouri is in trouble. Hotty Toddy.
On the Latest Locked On Ole Miss
Yesterday’s show was all Missouri week. The headline take: Ole Miss dropped 52 on Vanderbilt and the players walked in Tuesday saying they still have not played a complete game — a scary thought for a Tiger team that cannot afford to sit back for three quarters. We also broke down why Eli Drinkwitz claiming he “knows” Pete Golding’s defense is exactly the kind of thinking Golding builds a game plan around. And the quiet star of the segment: edge rusher Blake Purchase, who leads the Rebels in both sacks (3.5) and tackles for loss (6.5) despite arriving as the No. 43 edge in the transfer portal. Watch the full episode here.

Saturday is personal for Missouri: quarterback Austin Simmons, receiver Cayden Lee and defensive back Chris Graves Jr. are all former Rebels, while Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy once began his career at Mizzou. Both staffs are downplaying the storyline, but with playoff math tightening, this one is close to must-win for each side. (Associated Press)

SEC media picks Chris Beard’s Rebels 13th in preseason poll
Mon., Oct. 12.
SEC media slotted Ole Miss 13th in the preseason men’s basketball poll — ahead of LSU and Mississippi State, but with modest expectations for a nearly all-new roster. Guard Ilias Kamardine, who started all 35 games a year ago and led the team in steals, headlines the returners as Chris Beard reloads the rotation. (Hotty Toddy)
