Ole Miss is a week removed from a 76-3 thrashing over Tennessee-Martin, but must now shift gears and focus on Fresno State.

Like the Rebels, Fresno State enters its second showdown of the season with a 1-0 mark after nearly tripling up Abilene Christian in its 34-13 opening win.

Fresno State should ultimately provide Ole Miss with a tougher test than the Skyhawks before the team readies for its SEC schedule. After the Bulldogs, Ole Miss travels to No. 2 Alabama for the first of a three-game conference stretch.

As Ole Miss attempts to open the season 2-0 against Fresno State, here are five impact players to watch:

1. Laremy Tunsil, OT — Tunsil, Ole Miss’ starting left tackle, was removed from the starting lineup an hour prior to kickoff in the season opener due to an NCAA investigation into the player’s eligibility. Tunsil’s stepfather alleged that the lineman had been in contact with sports agents and received illegal benefits. Rebels coach Hugh Freeze has yet announce whether or not Tunsil will play in the team’s second game of the season. Tunsil was a preseason All-American left tackle and a likely first-round draft pick. However, negative findings from the NCAA’s investigation paired with multiple leg injuries could be detrimental to his draft stock and Ole Miss’ season.

2. Robert Nkemdiche, DT — Nkemdiche played the starring role for the Ole Miss defense a week ago against UT-Martin. The junior defensive tackle shifted gears to play wide receiver and caught a 31-yard touchdown pass, and that may not have even been his best play of the game. Nkemdiche also blocked a field-goal attempt and helped limit UT Martin to 3 points in the rout. On Saturday, Nkemdiche will be charged with helping to slow down Fresno State running back Marteze Waller. Waller, named to the Doak Walker Award watch list, rushed for 1,368 yards in 2014 to go along with 11 touchdowns. Last week against Abilene Christian, he ran for 154 yards. Nkemdiche will be key to containing the Bulldogs’ top offensive weapon.

3. Laquon Treadwell, WR — Making his way back to full health after suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle last November against Auburn, Treadwell returned to the field against UT-Martin. The wide receiver hauled in a team-leading four passes for 44 yards, but one drop led to a UT-Martin interception. After the contest, Freeze was glad to see his top receiver get tackled, then get back up. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound junior could be a first-round draft pick, should he decide to declare for the 2016 NFL draft. He’ll need to continue to regain his form before Ole Miss dips into its SEC schedule, and Fresno State’s secondary should offer him a chance to bolster his confidence.

4. Chad Kelly, QB —  Making the start for Ole Miss in the season opener, Kelly went 9-of-15 for 211 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, and added a 20-yard rushing score. Kelly, who transferred from Clemson to East Mississippi Community College before arriving at Oxford, earned the start for the second consecutive week, but Freeze indicated both Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade will see time behind center. Buchanon finished 4-of-6 for 58 yards and two touchdowns, while Kincade went 6-of-7 for 55 yards and a touchdown. Kelly seemingly had an edge over his sophomore counterparts, but has to separate himself from the pack before Ole Miss prepares for its SEC opener.

5. Tony Conner, S — Like the Rebels, Fresno State will trot out two quarterbacks Saturday in Oxford. Last week, both Zach Greenlee and Chason Virgil saw actions for the Bulldogs. Greenlee drew the start, the second of his career, and threw two touchdowns. Virgil also threw a touchdown in the 34-13 win. Given that Fresno State enjoyed success both running and throwing the ball, the pressure is on Ole Miss’ preseason All-American safety Trey Conner to be the defense’s Swiss Army knife. Conner will spearhead the defense’s effort to slow down Waller, but also keep the Fresno State passing game in check. The 6-foot, 215-pound junior finished second on the team in tackles a year ago and is considered a first- or second-round draft pick in the 2016 class. Thus far in his career, he’s proven to be able to play safety close to the box and back deep, which could be put to the test Saturday.
