Rebels no longer a surprise as SEC contenders

By: Wes Rucker

HOOVER, Ala. -- Houston Nutt's surging Ole Miss football program doesn't have many problems, relatively speaking.

Unlike most of the conference's traditional powers other than Florida, the Rebels return their star quarterback from last season, Jevan Snead.

End Greg Hardy is one of several significant players back on the line-led Ole Miss defense. Tailback Dexter McCluster, like Snead, was a key offensive component of a team that shocked LSU and defending national champion Florida on the road.

[. . .]
The Rebels have a few reasons for concern, though, and one of them is literally quite large.

"I've got a 600-pound problem," Nutt said during Thursday's afternoon session at the SEC media days.

Actually, Nutt has two 300-pound problems. The Rebels must replace Michael Oher and Peria Jerry, two first-round NFL draft picks who anchored the Ole Miss lines last season.

Oher went No. 23 overall to the New England Patriots, and Jerry -- arguably the SEC's most unheralded star last season -- went No. 24 to the Atlanta Falcons.

OK, Box. Quick test: Are these two pictures the same?

I'm guessing this SEC fan follows college football a whole lot more closely than he does the NFL. Maybe we should ask him if he knows what the capital of New England is or if he knows what body of water is to the east of the area.

Heh! Everybody gets to play, just because he beat you to an answer is no grounds for sour grapes.
