Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will host the Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 3 for an SEC clash at Vaught Hemingway Stadium on Saturday night.
After back-to-back wins over Georgia State and Kentucky, the Rebels enter the clash 2-0, but the competition level is set to rise once again this weekend in Oxford.
Kiffin broke down what he's seen from Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green and the challenges he can present Ole Miss in Week 3.
“Really dynamic. First of all, he’s dynamic, you know, athlete from a height, weight, speed standpoint to be able to run like he can, and I don’t think he was fully healthy in our game a year ago. He’s a problem," Kiffin said.
"He’s a lot to deal with and I think kind of similar that way to the South Carolina quarterback, LaNorris Sellers. Here’s two guys that are really hard to game plan for because they’re big and they can throw and run.”
Ole Miss will head into the Southeastern Conference clash as the favorite with Vegas shifting the odds once again on Tuesday.
A look into the game information, current betting lines and Kiffin's take on what he wants to see from redshirt-sophomore quarterback Austin Simmons in Week 3.

Ole Miss opened Week 3 as 9.5-point favorites against Arkansas along with an over/under set at 62.5 once the lines were revealed.
Now, just 48 hours later, the line has moved in the opposite direction with the Rebels currently sitting as 7.5-point favorites with the over/under dropping one point.
“I think, and usually coming back home, I’ll say again, that was his first road start, and we have high expectations for our players, but, you know, first road starts in any level, including NFL, guys sometimes struggle early.
"I think coming back home would be good and want him to take care of the ball, and not feel rushed when it’s not there. There were times in that game early I felt like because they were getting beat on some good rushes early, he started to feel that even when it wasn’t there. So, just calming him down.”
