Match preview Ole Miss vs Kentucky
Why Kentucky will win
The Wildcats have their man back.
They were able to go 4-0 with no game in progress but Will Levis is playing like the great pro quarterback he is, the defense held on and…
2.4 yards per carry for the nation’s 123rd floor game. That will change again with Chris Rodriguez after missing the first month thanks to an off-field problem.
Last year’s 1,379-yard, 9-touchdown back will feed the ball immediately against an Ole Miss defense that was better but rumbled for 262 yards in the far-too-tight 35-27 fight against Tulsa.
Give Rodriguez a little time to get back into shape, but if there’s anything he can do, Levis will bolt.

Why Ole Miss will win
The Ole Miss offensive can also go a little.
USC transfer QB Jaxson Dart has been solid, but it’s the ground game that’s taken over the first month with an SEC-best 281 yards per game with a great rotation.
Kentucky has been solid against the run and should keep Dart from taking off, but it has to deal with a passing attack for the first time all season.
The Rebels will do what they do on the floor, but as long as Dart is able to hit 60% and spin it up on third downs, it will take Britain out of the game.

What will happen
No really, can Kentucky handle a passing game?
Nothing against Anthony Richardson but he’s not quite there with his consistency yet – UK have made the wide selection it takes six to beat Florida.
No really, can Ole Miss handle a ground attack?
Georgia Tech doesn’t really count, and Tulsa’s day last week was a bit alarming.
Both teams will try to control the tempo and both teams will do what they do on offense, but…
The Ole Miss’s defense – however improved – will not come through too late.
The British backcourt will pull this out.
