- OL/LB: We should also be glad we played him week 1… He will only get better and so will their OL.

- Ole Miss tackles Terez Davis and Connor Howes graded better in zone than gap blocking against Louisville, at 80.9 versus 72.5 and 75.8 versus 57.9 respectively in the article's PFF splits, which are a one-game personnel-fit signal rather than a confirmed long-term tendency. - Ole Miss guard Patrick Kutas also favored zone in the cited grades at 70.1 versus 57.5 for gap, whereas Delano Townsend graded better in gap at 61.5 versus 56.0 for zone, showing that the line's best blocking concepts were not uniform in the opener. - Ole Miss tight end Luke Hasz was described by the report as fully healthy and graded 64.8 in gap blocking versus 54.6 in zone, making his blocking usage another potential personnel-package consideration rather than an announced scheme change. - Ole Miss receiver Horatio Fields led the offense with an 89.0 overall run-blocking grade and graded strongly in both scheme types, but he played nine fewer run snaps than Davis and his receiver assignments are not directly comparable to offensive-line work.

- Pick/market: Heavyweight fight so definitely banged up but all X-rays are negative.

- Ole Miss coach Pete Golding said post-Louisville X-rays and Keaton Thomas' foot MRI were negative and described the injuries as not long-term, but reduced Tuesday to a jog-through and will manage practice reps before determining weekend availability rather than treating those scans as clearance to play. - Ole Miss allowed no sacks against Louisville's experienced edge players, with Golding praising line communication and Connor Howes' work replacing injured Tommy Kinsler as well as the ability to run when needed at points in the game. - Ole Miss' new offense showed timing, route-depth and eye-discipline errors against unexpected Louisville defensive looks, and Golding specifically identified Johntay Cook finishing without a catch as a production issue the staff must correct. - Ole Miss missed 19 tackles and allowed 12 explosive plays for 324 yards against Louisville, with Golding attributing coverage busts to failures to communicate basic camp calls, including a missed cloud rotation, rather than unavoidable talent mismatches or new defensive installations. - Golding said green-dot call delivery to Ole Miss' front six did not deteriorate after Keaton Thomas left, because Luke Ferrelli and Tah'j Butler also practice that responsibility, and he remained comfortable retaining defensive play-calling duties as head coach.

- Pick/market: Patrick Kutas wanted Ole Miss’ offensive line to establish an identity against Louisville.

- Ole Miss had multiple disruptive snaps during its first two series against Louisville, including a Brycen Sanders snap over Trinidad Chambliss that lost 21 yards and ended the opening drive. - Chambliss lost a fumble after converting fourth-and-two and later threw a first-half interception on a telegraphed third-down pass, although he recovered to account for four second-half touchdowns. - Ole Miss allowed 351 second-half yards to Louisville after escaping an earlier coverage breakdown when the Cardinals overthrew an uncovered receiver, leaving defensive issues beneath the 41-38 win. - Ole Miss kicker Lucas Carneiro made from 43 yards, missed wide from 46 late in the first half, and converted the winning 48-yard field goal at the final buzzer.

- 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.

- QB/OL: To me, not sure anyone stuck out more in limited snaps that Oatis.

- OL/DL: I was disappointed in the OL line's overall conditioning shape.

- OL/RB: Jaheim Oatis tackling the running back by launching the OL back two yards is what we like to see

- OL/DL: Running game and offensive line is my only concern tbh but that was a really good defensive line from all accounts.

- QB/OL: Well we did give up 38 points to a team with a qb who had never started.

- OL: This Ole Miss center now has three high snaps - two on this drive already
