Louisville views Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss as an unusually difficult opening test because he combines high-end talent with proven production.

Louisville's rebuilt defense must also contain Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy, one of the nation's most productive returning players.

Co-defensive coordinator Mark Ivey considers the matchup an immediate measuring stick for Louisville's rebuilt defense and believes a strong performance would materially raise the unit's confidence.

Ivey plans to coach from the sideline while Louisville's defensive staff uses a collaborative game-planning process to put the unit in position against Ole Miss's high-output offense.
