No. 7 Ole Miss (8-1, 5-1 SEC) will return to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday for a non-conference matchup against The Citadel Bulldogs in Oxford.

After earning an SEC win last weekend against the South Carolin Gamecocks, Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to keep the program's hot start to the season alive.

"Big challenge issued this morning to get better this week. We’ve gotten better in some areas the last couple weeks. Talked about really focusing on ourselves with walk-through today. Two really physical practices the next two days to improve. 

"We’ve got a lot to work on. Gave up an explosive play and a couple other passes that [South Carolina] missed that were open. We had a really poor day in the red zone and third down. So, plenty to work on. 

"These guys are a very disciplined team. They make you be really accountable on defense with an unusual system that we’re not used to. Really trying to focus on really getting better and improving and maybe looking at different ideas, too."
