Five Ole Miss players who could swing Saturday’s showdown with Georgia

Big games, he argues, come down to them. (SI)
How Ole Miss-Georgia became one of the SEC’s best rivalries

Depth is a luxury in September and a necessity in November
Wed., Nov. 4 · last 24 hours. With Kewan Lacy sidelined and linebacker Luke Ferrelli nursing an ankle, Ole Miss leans on next-man-up snaps from Shekai Mills-Knight and Tah’j Butler.
