Every argument this week has been about the front seven. The phase that actually handed Florida its field position has not been discussed once. Off the official box score: Florida's London Montgomery returned three kickoffs for 128 yards — 42.7 a return, long of 74. Traylon Ray returned four for 76, long of 23. Florida got more yards on three returns than Ole Miss got on four, by 52. Lucas Carneiro had six kickoffs for 347 yards, one touchback, one out of bounds, 57.8 average. Florida's Patrick Durkin: eight kickoffs, four touchbacks, 59.3. Ben Garrett at On3 asked whether Ole Miss meant to kick it short. His answer was no. Second segment: Jehiem Oatis had four total tackles against Florida — an Ole Miss career high per the school's own postgame notes — while, per SI's Cooper Ferguson, playing fewer than half the defensive snaps. Honest notes, said on air: the foot report on Carneiro is secondhand and credits Garrett rather than a team source, and the Oatis snap reporting is single-source with no numbers attached. Let me know in the comments whether you would play Oatis more — and send this to somebody who thinks it is all scheme. Locked On Ole Miss Hits — quick takes on the Rebels every weekday.
