“I love Lane Kiffin — an offensive genius,” Sallee said. “They’re not going to contend for the SEC West, but man, they are going to be the biggest pest in college football this year. … They’ve got one of the best running backs in the country in Jerrion Ealy. They’ve got one of the most dynamic — if not the most dynamic — quarterback in the country in John Rhys Plumlee. And they’ve got a receiver in Elijah Moore — yes at the end of last season, he became infamous for the dog pee incident, but that shouldn’t take away from what he did. He’s a flat-out stud. When you put that trio with Lane Kiffin, I am fully on board with them being a team that, on its best day, they can put up 30 against any defense.”
Can the Rebels pull off some upsets in 2020? They’ll be a team no one wants to see on the schedule.
