Kewan Lacy Injury Tracker: from Louisville Leg Strain to Ole Miss Offense Shift
Ole Miss learned the hard way in Gainesville that their passing scheme cannot mask the loss of elite backfield production. Pete Golding has built a physical program, but sustained success in the modern SEC requires a back who forces linebackers to freeze on play-action fakes. If Kewan Lacy can overcome both the early leg tightness and his recent shoulder trauma, the Rebels retain the talent to challenge the top tier of the SEC. If his absence stretches deeper into autumn, Oxford will be forced into an offensive rebuild that test the limits of their remaining roster depth.
