Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy missed most of the second half against Louisville with a leg bruise that Pete Golding did not consider serious, while Makhi Frazier and JT Lindsay combined for 52 yards on 14 carries and the reviewer noted weaker pass protection without Lacy.

Ole Miss tackle Tommy Kinsler IV left injured in the third quarter without returning and guard Delano Townsend went down in the fourth, leaving Conor Howes and Troy Everett to finish the game, although Golding said both injured linemen should be fine without providing a specific return date.

Ole Miss linebacker Keaton Thomas recorded eight tackles but played little in the second half because of injury, with no return timetable supplied in the report.

Ole Miss allowed Louisville 469 total yards after limiting the Cardinals to six first-half points, and the reviewer identified poor tackling and especially secondary communication as concerns despite the Rebels generating quarterback pressure.

Golding expects Deuce Alexander's speed to draw coverage adjustments that create opportunities elsewhere in Ole Miss' offense, while the reviewer questioned whether the remaining receiver group can provide enough support when defenses focus on Alexander.
