Ole Miss football walks into the week of Sept. 21 with new energy following the emotional 32-24 win over LSU. Including Mississippi governor Tate Reeves trolling ex-Tigers coach Lane Kiffin. But the focus now shifts to Florida, including Jadan Baugh, for coach Pete Golding and company.

The running back Baugh even presents an eye-popping stat that immediately places Ole Miss on upset alert.

Despite the Rebels' victory that moved them slightly up in the top 25, Ole Miss comes with one big flaw. The Rebels are struggling with consistently tackling this season.

Baugh walks into “The Swamp” with a chance to exploit that fatal flaw. With this big stat attached to him as presented by Pro Football Focus college football analyst Max Chadwick.

“Jadan Baugh has 30 broken tackles (most in FBS). Ole Miss: 46 missed tackles (2nd most in the Power Four). Could be a problem!” Chadwick posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.

Golding must make wrapping up and finishing tackles a major point of emphasis after the LSU win. The Tigers still made it a close game in Oxford especially in erasing a 17-point deficit late. LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt carved up the Rebels by turning to his mobility late. Running back Dilin Jones exposed some arm tackling flaws too, racking up 106 yards and scoring once in the game.

Baugh rises as one of the earliest weapons for new Florida head coach Jon Sumrall. The junior from Atlanta has already delivered three-straight 100-yard games including hitting a season-high 162 versus Auburn this past Saturday. He's also scored three touchdown twice already. No doubt a Florida upset will spark conversations of the Gators returning to national prominence. So Ole Miss must wrap up this week.
