Florida transfer Sharif Denson is expected to hold a major safety role for Ole Miss, and he said the secondary has developed strong chemistry entering the Louisville opener.

Pete Golding used a full mock game in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to rehearse game-day procedures and reduce first-game anxiety before the neutral-site matchup.

Ole Miss believes daily work against Kewan Lacy prepared its defense for Louisville's similarly fast and elusive running back Isaac Brown.

The Rebels are preparing for Lincoln Kienholz as a mobile quarterback within Jeff Brohm's established system despite having little college film on the new Louisville starter.

Denson described Golding's defense as complex but said its explanatory teaching has helped players understand assignments, and he views the unit as talented and deep at every position.
