No one is going to mistake the Rebel's defense for the '85 Bears, but...

You've played two of the highest powered offenses in the country.

No team, outside of UGA and Clemson, is playing good defense thus far due (I think)to the lack of tackling in practice/ loss of the Spring practice, to COVID. I anticipate defenses in general, and Ole Miss in particular, will improve as the season progresses since you'll have more live game tackling.

All Ole Miss needs to do is make the occasional stop and slow teams down.

Because of our offense, we don't need some powerhouse D. We legit just need our defense to have an occasional stop and our offense can do the rest.

And based on what you pointed out (we've played two of the best offenses in the country), I think our D stepping up for the remainder of the schedule and having a stop here and there because of the dropoff in the quality of offenses we'll be facing isn't completely out of the question. I'd actually put it under the category of 'probable'.
