Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has identified run blocking as a key area of improvement for the Rebels before they face off against Arkansas this weekend. In their recent game against Oklahoma, Ole Miss struggled to establish a consistent running game, rushing for just 69 yards. Kiffin emphasized the need for better run blocking from all positions, including receivers and tight ends. While acknowledging Oklahoma’s strong defense, Kiffin believes that improving run blocking is crucial for Ole Miss to have success moving forward.
Despite reshuffling some pieces on the offensive line due to injuries, Kiffin sees run blocking as an offense-wide issue that needs to be addressed. Although Ole Miss managed to secure a 26-14 victory over Oklahoma, Kiffin recognizes the importance of a stronger running game to secure wins against upcoming opponents like Arkansas and Georgia. The Razorbacks are giving up around 119 yards per game on the ground, presenting an opportunity for Ole Miss to capitalize.
The Rebels are set to face off against Arkansas in Fayetteville on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The game will be televised on ESPN, providing fans with an opportunity to see if Ole Miss can improve their run blocking and strengthen their offense against a tough opponent. With Kiffin’s emphasis on execution and improvement in run blocking, Ole Miss will look to establish a more effective running game to secure victories in the upcoming games.
