Ole Miss Rebels Week 6 Opponent Preview: Tennessee Volunteers

Both Ole Miss and Tennessee have offenses that have caught fire in recent weeks, and they will meet in Knoxville on Saturday night.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin spent a season at the helm in Tennessee in 2009, and his return to Knoxville will likely be a talking point for media members across the country heading into Saturday. Tennessee is fresh off a 45-20 victory over South Carolina, and Ole Miss topped Arkansas last Saturday 52-51 in a thriller in Oxford.
