This will be the second game without Chad Kelly. But don\u2019t expect the Commodores to show any sympathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Vanderbilt is also trying to navigate their team toward a bowl birth. The Commodores\u2019 team is based on a running offense and a good defense. Running back Ralph Webb is one of the most underrated players in the league. It is possible that Webb is the best running back in the SEC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Linebacker Zac Cunningham is a tackling machine. He\u2019s the leader of this aggressive defense. The Rebels\u2019 offense will have a difficult task going against them without Kelly at QB. The key for the Rebels is to score early. They need to build a lead that will force the Commodores to abandon the run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The weakness of that team is their passing game. Kyle Shurmur doesn\u2019t create a true passing threat. Putting them in passing situation allows for the Rebels pass rush to reek havoc on Shurmur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This game will probably be closer than Ole Miss fans would like. I still think we have enough talent to get a win. <strong>Ole Miss 24 Vanderbilt 20\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14544 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"The Local Voice Ligature\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Rebels strive to win the games needed for bowl eligibility, the game against our cross-divisional rivals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253,"featured_media":36630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2291,9538,9093,5,7067,4,3,753,90],"class_list":["post-36629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-athletics","tag-athletics","tag-away-game","tag-kevin-williams","tag-mississippi","tag-ole-miss","tag-oxford","tag-the-local-voice","tag-tlv","tag-vanderbilt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/2016-11-15-Ole-Miss-vs-Vandy.jpg?fit=620%2C349&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/253"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
