Last Season
The 2021 season went extremely well for Ole Miss as they finished the year with a 10-3 record. Ole Miss went 6-2 in SEC play, and the season ended with a 21-7 loss to Baylor in the Sugar Bowl.
Head coach Lane Kiffin had an explosive offense a season ago, but he has his work cut out for him if he wants to have a similar performance in 2022. Ole Miss finished the year as the 11th-ranked team in the country, but they don’t begin 2022 in that same position.
Rebels Key Losses Heading into 2022
The biggest loss facing the Ole Miss Rebels is at the quarterback position, as Matt Corral has now moved on to the NFL. Corral put up monster numbers during the 2021 season, and his production is going to be hard to replace.
Defensive end Sam Williams was an All-American a season ago, and his loss is going to hurt the defense in a big way. Ole Miss also has to replace a pair of coordinators, and new coaches always tend to slow down some progress.
2022 Ole Miss Rebels Team Preview
No head coach in college football recruits the transfer portal better than Lane Kiffin, and that was the case again this season. Ole Miss will enter the 2022 season with plenty of new faces, but most of the newcomers are going to be veterans.
Jaxson Dart is set to step in at the quarterback position, and he has a similar skill set to Corral. The offensive line will be similar to how it looked a season ago, and the Rebels should be able to run the ball effectively.
The defense will be a big question as they lost a ton of production from a season ago. The talent will be there for the Rebels, but it’s also a group of players that aren’t familiar with one another.
2022 Ole Miss Football Schedule
The 2022 schedule for Ole Miss is loaded with tough games on the back end, but things are pretty easy to begin the year. Ole Miss is going to be favored in all four non-conference games, with the most difficult matchup coming against Georgia Tech.
The Rebels have to take on LSU, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Arkansas during a brutal stretch late in the year, and those are four games in which the Rebels could be an underdog.
2022 Ole Miss Rebels Regular Season Win Total Prediction
There is a very good chance that Ole Miss could be 7-0 through the first seven games, but then the really tough stretch of games is set to begin. The Rebels are going to be talented enough to compete with every team in the SEC, and they will find a way to squeak out a win against a great team to end the season.
