Ole Miss enters its 2022 campaign ranked 21st in the AP poll but as of Monday who will replace Matt Corral at quarterback remain up in the air.
During his weekly media availability, Rebels coach Lane Kiffin said the competition between sophomores Luke Altmyer and Jaxson Dart, a transfer from USC, is ongoing.
“We still have not made a QB decision,” Kiffin said. “I thought they both played (okay Saturday) … I do not know when I’ll have that answer. We haven’t even discussed the timeline as coaches because it has not emerged as all.”
