  Draft Scout by Conference









  Ole Miss football began preseason practices on Wednesday with a quarterback-battle-sized question mark hanging above it. Rebels coach Lane Kiffin said he's not ready to make a decision between sophomores Luke Altmyer and Jaxson Dart after one day of practices. He wants to make a decision before the season opener and, given his experience in coaching, wants to stick with one instead of letting Altmyer and Dart battle things out in a game. "We're always going to look at everything and what's best for the team and not do things because we've done them before," Kiffin said. "But I think people pull (quarterbacks) too fast. It's not like a pitcher who goes in and then pitches four days later (after being pulled). There's a lot of mental stuff to playing quarterback. When you get pulled, that's a big deal. You've got to make sure he's had every opportunity and that what's happening is actually his fault."

Kiffin continued that he thinks it's important to differentiate between a quarterback who's making unforced errors and a quarterback who's struggling because the team around him is struggling. He said he's not the kind of coach who will yank a quarterback for throwing two or three interceptions because he knows oftentimes quarterback mistakes happen because of protection or route running errors or unlucky bounces that benefit the defense. Dart and Altmyer are considered the two favorites to replace quarterback Matt Corral, who started for the last two years for the Rebels before being picked in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. - The Clarion Ledger
