illiam Smith Neilson, born in 1812, was a poor man with no school education when he started his career as a store clerk. In 1838, he loaded an ox wagon of goods

and moved from Tennessee to Mississippi to establish his business.

In 2016, 177 years after its founding, Neilson’s continues to thrive in Oxford.

He came to Oxford in 1839 and established the first store as “a small log cabin on the north side of the Square” stocking

“groceries, clothing, hardware, drugs, even coffins—everything pioneer families needed,” according to Neilson’s history pamphlet.

Business was at a standstill when Gen. Ulysses S. Grant occupied Oxford during the Civil War, so Neilson converted his money into gold and buried it in

his home’s garden.

In 1864, Union Gen. Andrew Jackson came to Oxford and burned practically all businesses on the square, including Neilson’s. The stash of buried gold proved wise, and Neilson’s resumed business two years later.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid application is changing this year, and the Office of Financial Aid is trying to get the word out to students who will apply for aid for the 2017-18 academic year.

The Financial Aid Office sent out an email to all students to let them know the FASFA opened Oct. 1, which is three months sooner than the typical start date. The U.S. Department of Education also switched to using “prior-prior-year” tax information, which means applications will use their 2015 federal tax and income information for the 2017-18 FAFSA. Director of Financial Aid Laura Diven-Brown said she thinks there are a lot of positives to the changes.

“We really think that the changes could give them a lot more time to get it completed, get it done more accurately and maybe have the financial aid process go more smoothly for them in the future,” Diven-Brown said. “That’s obvi-

coln, Lowndes, Marion, Perry and Rankin. There was one death reported in Hinds County.

To avoid transmission of mosquito-borne illnesses, MSDH suggests using mosquito repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient, such as DEET, when outdoors, removing all sources of standing water around the home and yard to prevent mosquito breeding, wearing loose and light-colored clothing to cover arms and legs when outdoors and avoiding areas where mosquitoes are prevalent.

“No matter where we come from, we all travel a lot, so any of us could be affected by it,” freshman French major Rebecca Greenfield said. “Because this is a college campus, I think that it’s

easy for anything to spread quickly.”

Junior theater major Tycarlous Dewberry said, because Zika can be sexually transmitted, the university’s health department should start passing out information and protection from the virus.

“We have students from everywhere, so we may very well have students who have been exposed to the viruses,” Deberry said.

“I’m not sure that the two viruses would cause a major epidemic, but we could definitely have students who may have been exposed, and that could affect us all.”

Reported mosquito related illnesses rise in Mississippi MIA SIMS

According to the Mississippi Department of Health, there have been two new travel-associated cases of Zika in Prentiss county and one new case of the West Nile virus in Rankin county. There have been 23 deaths from the Zika virus in Mississippi according to the department of health.

Freshman pre-pharmacy major Alex Ferguson said the spread of mosquito-borne illness affects everyone because no one knows what the virus could become.

“I’ve heard of how Zika causes severe birth defects, but I wonder if it could also

indirectly affect us in those same ways longterm,” she said.

Birth defects resulting from transmission of Zika include brain damage, hearing and vision loss and impaired growth. The MSDH strongly advises pregnant women not to travel to areas where Zika is actively being transmitted.

People who travel to areas where Zika is being transmitted are advised to avoid mosquito exposure for a full three weeks after they return home. The virus can also be transmitted sexually, even by those with no symptoms of infection.

The breed of mosquito spreading Zika abroad and in portions of Miami Beach, Florida, is called

Aedes aegypti. Although the mosquito has not been detected in Mississippi since the early 1990s, the MSDH is currently conducting surveillance for Aedes mosquito populations in the state.

Symptoms of West Nile virus are often mild and may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rash, muscle weakness or swollen lymph nodes. In a small number of cases, infection can result in encephalitis or meningitis, which can lead to paralysis, coma and possibly death.

So far this year, human cases of West Nile have been reported in multiple counties in Mississippi.

These counties include Calhoun, Chickasaw, Copiah, Grenada, Hinds, Lamar, Lee, Leflore, Lin-

Oxford schools controversy is more complex than it seems

ETHAN DAVIS

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Anyone who has attended a public elementary, middle or high school knows the intensity of the dreaded state tests.

Each year, ominous words such as “budget cuts,” “performance standards” and “academic probation” are tossed into the air

and fall directly on the heads of students who are soon to have to buckle down and take a six-hour test to prove they have learned something in the course of the academic year.

These tests are part of the bureaucratic lock and key process that decides to what extent a particular school is funded. Student performance is a constant concern for schools because it affects not only how much money they receive from the various levels of government but also how much freedom they have to spend that money.

The Oxford School Board recently went through a controversy about building a separate school for low income students.

According to a Daily Mississippian article, the school board apologized and stated that there

were no plans to create another school.

The Daily Mississippian also reported that the notion to create a separate facility was put forward by a third party called the Urban Learning and Leadership Center, an entity that specializes in improving performance of low-income students.

All of the emotion aside, this idea is not that far off from what happens now; students take different courses based on their performance. Furthermore, I believe the exploration of new ways to improve performance by the school board is out of genuine interest in student welfare. Oxford is one of the top performing districts in the state, but it is the gap in performance that officials find concerning.

From what I can gather, the

dissatisfaction seems to be that a new school for low income students would appear to be another form of segregation.

Regardless of what the objections are, this issue is of incredible importance. The American Educational Research Association reports that students who are unable to read at the usual rate of their grade level by the third grade are four times less likely to graduate, and a low income student with the same problem is 13 times less likely to graduate.

As an adult, if you want to learn something, you are responsible for learning it, but that is not the case with minors.

I honestly do not think there is an easy solution to the problem.

Public high schools are, by their very nature, flawed. Unless a

school has the funds to cater to each student in a unique way, something is being lost, and I do not know of any public institution of any kind that can accomplish this method.

Additionally, school is a miserable enough experience on its own without the added shame or arrogance of going to “the rich school” or “the poor school.”

In any case, we should not stop trying to improve performance and quality of life through education. I would encourage anyone who hates the idea of a separate facility to offer a different, better solution. That is how democracy works: the best ideas float to the surface.

NEWS NEILSON’S

continued from page 1 In 1929, the store was 90 years old. The Dry Goods Economist reported “Neilson’s as the oldest store in the South and the 16th oldest in the nation.” In 1980, the U.S. Department of the Interior placed Neilson’s on the National Register of Historic Places.

The business has remained in the Neilson family for several generations until 1964 when David Neilson Jr. retired. He sold the business to long-time employee, Will Lewis Sr. In 1964, Lewis, his father and his sister bought out the business. Neilson’s is still under ownership of 80-year-old Lewis.

“My father worked for the Neilsons starting in 1912,” said Lewis. “I can honestly say he ran the business for Neilson, so when they decided to sell it, they agreed to sell it to my father.”

His father still ran the business until his death on Oct. 6, 1989, his 92nd birthday. His death was 10 days after his last day of work and his 77th year at Neilson’s.

To Lewis, the history is what makes Neilson’s unique.

“It was founded in 1839, and we have a principal place on the Square, which a lot of people like that. We have our own charge accounts; we make deliveries; we mail merchandise. I don’t think most businesses have that.”

Today, Lewis runs Neilson’s on his business philosophy adopted many years ago: quality, style and dependable service.

Phyllis Hodge, 35-year employee, said, “We try to buy products that have good quality.

We greet customers that come into the store and help them with anything they need, mainly be friendly.”

“We had to change with the times, for sure,” said Lewis. “You have to reinvent yourself all the time.”

In order to reinvent themselves, Lewis must change “the mix” of merchandise often.

“So many things are completely out of style, like men’s hats,” he said. “Kids don’t wear shoes anymore until they’re about three or four years old. We used to do a lot of wedding gifts, like dishes and silverware, but they don’t buy that anymore.”

“With stores like Wal-Mart and J.C. Penney, we just let them have business on the low

THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 14 OCTOBER 2016 | PAGE 3

end of the spectrum and we have a better line. When we first took over the business, there wasn’t that much competition. We sold work clothes and cheap dresses.

Now (Wal-Mart and J.C. Penney) can do that better than we can.”

Although Lewis was conscious of what chain stores did at first, now he “just doesn’t worry about it.” Ultimately, Lewis believes Neilson’s is entirely different from chain stores; Neilson’s is a family-oriented business. Lewis views his biggest competitor as the internet.

“It didn’t used to be; it used to be the stores in Memphis and in Tupelo, but not anymore,” he said. “The internet can do things better than we can, like have 100 different colors of the same shirt or shoes. We can’t stock that.”

As Neilson’s changed with the times, so did the city. One form of growth was Oxford’s implementation of parking meters two years ago.

Initially, Lewis did not believe it would be good for his business because “people don’t like to pay to park,” but he quickly saw how the meters helped the business.

Lewis said, “It didn’t take long to see that it sent the people who were going to park all day and not move their vehicle to the parking lots. There was a lot more space for my customers whereas it was difficult before. It definitely helped in that regard.

I like it.”

Lewis continuously works to let the public know how Neilson’s is willing to change. Last year, he completely remodeled the store.

“We have to put a modern face on everything,” he said. “We recently painted the outside. We didn’t need it, but we thought it was time to change color. A lot of people noticed, and I think they appreciated it.”

Oxford resident Whitney Byars shops at Neilson’s a few times a month. She chooses Neilson’s because she not only loves to support Oxford businesses, but Neilson’s also has great customer service.

“I love their remodeling of the store,” Byars said. “The lighting seems better; it creates a more inviting atmosphere.”

Lewis said he thinks Neilson’s is more personal than other mainstream businesses. He embraces the differences.

“Every year, we make a little bit more, even in difficult times, like ’08,” Lewis said. “We’ve been able to hold on.”

FAFSA

continued from page 1 ously a goal the government has, but we have as a school, as well.”

The changes are designed to make filing for federal aid easier for students. The Financial Aid Office said an earlier FAFSA will provide students with more time to complete the application process. In the past, FAFSA cycles began on Jan. 1 every year, which required both income and federal tax information from the previous year.

Last year, for the 2015-16 application, over 60 percent of undergraduate, graduate and professional degree-seeking students at Ole Miss filed a FAFSA. There were more than 13,000 filers, out of more than 20,000 students.

Because of the new changes, the number of students completing a FAFSA may increase in upcoming years.

Jessie Bates, junior pre-pharmacy major, said she likes the new changes. She said the earlier application date is more convenient for her and her family.

“I’m definitely going to file earlier this year because I applied late last year,” Bates said.

With the switch to prior financial information, most tax filers’ returns will have already been processed by the Internal Revenue Service and be available for use. They should be ready and easily transferrable via the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. The retrieval tool makes the process one step simpler by directly transferring information from tax returns to the FAFSA application, ensuring more accurate information and eliminating the need for students to estimate tax information.

“Even though we still think of ourselves as just starting the 2016-17 year, we’re already open for business for the 2017-18 year,” Diven-Brown said. “We want students to have enough time to do everything, and by getting this application earlier, we will have extra time to work with them and to make sure that they know how to fill in all the items.”

Diven-Brown said some FAFSAs are selected for review, and the university has to check the accuracy of every detail, including the tax transcripts.

“Those three extra months real-

ly help them,” Diven-Brown said.

Sophomore integrated marketing communications major Brandon Hancock said the earlier open date and use of the prior year’s tax information will be helpful for him.

“I found out my identity was stolen, so I had to go through a lot of stuff to get that dealt with, and it put a hold on my FAFSA because I couldn’t get it done without my tax return,” Hancock said. “It was half a week before school started and I still didn’t have my return yet because the IRS was dealing with all that stuff.”

Hancock said he is happy to submit his FAFSA earlier, especially after his experience last year.

“I don’t want to go through that again,” Hancock said. “I had no idea it was going to take that long.

I had a feeling that I wasn’t going to get that money, and I needed it to go to school.”

The Financial Aid Office is encouraging students to file their 2017-18 FAFSA as soon as possible and would like for students to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool if their 2015 federal tax returns were filed and processed by the IRS prior to Oct. 1, 2016, in order to provide the most accurate information.

Senior banking and finance major Wood Morris said he supports the changes even though this is his last year at Ole Miss.

“I think it’s a really good idea,” Morris said. “It’s such a hassle every year. If I could get it knocked out early, I would.”

Road Reb in the Razorback Nation

GRAPHIC BY: MARISA MORRISSETTE

MCKENNA WIERMAN

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Woo-hoo, Rebs! It’s the first away game in weeks, and everyone who is anyone is heading up to hog country in Fayetteville, Arkansas, this weekend. Students from the University of Mississippi will trek hours worth of hills and Arkansas mountains to watch the boys face off against the Razorbacks.

If you’re like me and this is your first time hitting the road for the Reb-

els, then you might have a few questions. What should you take with you?

Where will you find food? What other fun things await you in Fayetteville?

How the hell do you get there?

Fayetteville really is a very lovely town. I’ve had the pleasure of spending a weekend or two there, and while I’m hardly an expert, here are a few of my recommendations if you’re setting off on the journey.

The Car Trip:

Arrival:

Game time, baby:

If you’re flying, good for you. If you’re not, listen up: don’t forget water. I know I sound like a broken record, but I feel obligated to remind everyone at all times to stay hydrated.

You may also want to pack a few snacks and sundries for the ride. It’s about 400 miles via I-20 West, so get ready for quite a lot of driving. You’ll also for sure want to have a printed-out map with you, in case your phone dies or your GPS goes haywire. And of course, show everyone that famous Southern charm and make sure you’re driving politely. No one wants to get a ticket on the way to football fun time.

If you happen to stumble across any unexpected treasures or gems on the road to the Razorback nation, be sure to tweet them back to the @DM_Lifestyles using #RoadReb!

Hopefully, you’ve already got a place to stay all picked out and ready to go. If not, I can’t help you.

But I can tell you that if you’re looking for the college life in town, head to Dixon Street. Here is where you’re going to find your bars, clubs and good eating. As a matter of fact, if you’re looking for something to do during the daytime, this weekend is the 3rd annual Washington County Fall Festival arts & crafts show. For you night owls, however, look for live music and fun downtown and around Dixon. If you’re looking for the local fare, Hog Haus and Grubs are Razorback favorites.

For more local listings, check out the Arkansas Traveler website.

Kick-off is at 6 p.m. this weekend, so make sure you are good and ready (and hydrated!) when you head to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Dress in navy blue, wear those little Ole Miss stickers on your cheeks and get ready to cheer. Just like at the Vaught, the Razorback’s stadium has rules, so make sure you take a looksy over the University of Arkansas’ policies if it’s your first time visiting.

Most of all, don’t forget to cheer your heart out for the Rebels. We are currently seeking to destroy the two-year winning streak the Razorbacks hold against us, and it looks like it’s going to be one hell of a fight. So get out there and support your team, Ole Miss!

Art takes a ‘One Night Stand’ at the Ole Miss Motel

Doors line the outside of Ole Miss Motel.

ZOE MCDONALD

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Visit Ole Miss Motel for a one night stand this weekend — a one night stand with art, that is.

Saturday evening, rooms at the Ole Miss Motel will transform with photography, paintings, collages and more by local and regional artists. The One Night Stand at Ole Miss Motel is the brainchild of Amelia Presents’ owner, Erin Austen Abbott.

Abbott, a professional photographer, had the idea as she was shooting photos of Ole Miss Motel around 2005. She noticed small wooden hearts on every door locked by old-timey keys, and she recalled stories of blues musician T-Model Ford’s own room at the motel, reserved for when he’d play shows in town.

“I just kind of had this vision,” Abbott said.

So she approached Ole Miss Motel about her idea. “I said, ‘We’ll pay for the room for a night.

It’ll just be up for a night, just, a one night stand. Of art. And so the name fit with the location,” Abbott said.

For artists who weren’t already displayed in a gallery, it was often a challenge to find spaces to show their work. Artists who wanted to hold group showings, like Abbott and her friends, were also limited.

The One Night Stand filled that void and quickly made itself at home at the Ole Miss Motel.

“I just was like, this is the per-

fect juxtaposition of fine art meets kitschy, travel-lodge vintage motel,” Abbott said.

She held the first motel art show in 2007, and since she’s held at least one show every year, save for 2008, when she held the show at the Beverly Laurel Hotel in Los Angeles. Artists’ rooms looped around an entire fourth floor, Abbott said.

While the L.A. show hosted 20 artists and brought around 2,500 people, Abbott ultimately decided to bring the show back to Oxford in the years after. After all, she said, “the motel is its home.”

This year, 10 artists will take over motel rooms, where their only creative bounds are their rooms’ walls.

“They can do whatever they want,” Abbott said. “I’ve had some artists pull every piece of furniture out of the room. They piled it in their truck, took it to their house and brought it back when they were done and put it all back. I’ve had other artists use upright beds as walls to hang the art on.”

Local painter Jonathan Kent Adams, experimental photographer and painter Frances Berry and photographer Jason Cimon are among the artists invited by Abbott to be a part of this year’s One Night Stand. Adams and Berry have both been part of previous shows. Abbott said she often invites artists back to show how they’ve evolved.

Cimon, whose minimalist photography has become particularly

“He’s a photographer that didn’t know he was going to be a photographer … He got into photography because of Instagram and he has Art hangs in a room of the Ole Miss Motel. found his aesthetic; he’s found his eye, and he is amazing,” Abbott said. “You might see the building across the street, and you only see one little line in a corner and it’s perfectly aligned with the cloud above it. And visually, it’s art. It looks like a painting.”

Abbott’s original T-Model Ford vision will come to life this year as a part of Shelby Kyser and Jake Rogers’ motel space, where Cody Rogers of Holy Ghost Electric Show will be playing live music.

Shelby and Jake will be debuting their scanned collage works.

“They make weird collages with their scanner. It kind of reminds you of the sun prints you made as a kid,” Abbott said.

Indeed, the works might comprise various leaves, a dog paw or a cotton boll atop a black background.

Peruse artists’ motel spaces, enjoy food from Saint Leo and purchase or simply admire art in various mediums from 6-9 p.m. this Saturday at Ole Miss Motel.

The first hour is paid entry — Art is seen displayed at the Ole Miss Motel as part of a previous One Night Stand $25 for first dibs on art purchases Motel art show. and a meal ticket, after 6, the event is free. Children are welcome, Abbott said.

“Don’t be alarmed by the name.

It’s just a friendly art show.”

Saint Leo’s wood-fire pizza oven is seen at a previous motel art show.

The number of Arkansas players ranking in the top 10 in the SEC in receiving yards per game. The Razorbacks are the only school with multiple players in the top 10, and the improvement of receivers like Jared Cornelius and Keon Hatcher is a big reason why their passing game has improved so much this season.

The number of turnovers Ole Miss forced in their victory against Memphis last week. Ole Miss has struggled with the turnover battle this season, but against the Tigers safety, Zedrick Woods stepped up to make two interceptions, and defensive tackle D.J. Jones added a fumble recovery and an interception of his own.

From the sports desk: College football pick‘em week seven This week, local psychic and Lifestyles Editor Mckenna Wierman joins Sports Editor Brian Scott Rippee and Assistant Sports Editor Cody Thomason.

You may remember Wierman from her monthly horoscopes, and if you’re a fan of the sports section, you’re sure to recognize Rippee and Thomason.

NO. 12 OLE MISS @ NO. 22 ARKANSAS

NO. 1 ALABAMA @ NO. 9 TENNESSEE

NO. 2 OHIO STATE @ NO. 8 WISCONSIN

Sports Editor Brian Scott Rippee: If Ole Miss doesn’t hurt itself with turnovers, it will win this game. Arkansas has been a thorn in the Rebels’ side. I think they remove it. Rebels win.

BR: Tennessee will put up a decent fight at home.

But at the end of the day, the Vols aren’t very good.

Alabama by two touchdowns.

Assistant Sports Editor Cody Thomason: Arkansas always seems to have Ole Miss’ number. Their power running game matched with a surprisingly improved passing game with talented tight ends is the perfect system to run against the small, quick Ole Miss defense. This year, I think the Rebels get revenge and take home a victory.

CT: Tennessee might be better than I’ve given them credit for. They lost their first game to Texas A&M last week, but they fought well throughout the game.

Regardless, I think Alabama destroys the Volunteers this week.

BR: This could be tricky for the Buckeyes, and the Badgers have turned some heads this year with wins over LSU and Michigan State. But I don’t think Wisconsin will have the QB play to win this game.

CT: Wisconsin is the real deal this season, upsetting Michigan State two weeks ago and beating LSU early in the season. Although they lost to fourth-ranked Michigan last week, they only lost by seven points and played pretty well. Badgers for the upset here.

MW: The stars say Bama, but that’s so boring. I want to say Tennessee here. Bama isn’t quite the shutdown team we’ve seen them be in the past, and the Volunteers are fierce. I’m sensing a great change in Tide.

McKenna Wierman: For sure Ole Miss. The stars tell me Arkansas is rattled from its oh-so-close loss to Bama last week.

Not to mention Mercury’s alignment with Neptune is favoring a Rebel win. We’ve got the cosmos on our side.

MW: After some intensive meditation, my spiritual guides have led me to pick Ohio State as the winner for this match. Five is a magic number. But I also feel like the Badgers could upset, so beware.

NO. 10 NEBRASKA @ INDIANA BR: Indiana is good. Face it. They’re going to win this game.

MISSISSIPPI STATE @ BYU

STANFORD @ NOTRE DAME

BR: If you’re a Mississippi State fan, these are the kinds of games where you just have this terrible feeling in your stomach all day. Don’t worry – Ole Miss has plenty of these, but I think the Bulldogs get a much needed exhale in a win.

BR: Two train wrecks meet. I wanted to pick both teams to lose, but my boss told me I can’t do that, so I guess Notre Dame because ... ? I don’t really know.

CT: Despite losing Bronco Mendenhall, a good coach with an even better name, to Virginia, BYU has been solid this season. Mississippi State, meanwhile, looks to be on their way to their worst season in years. I think the Cougars win this game by a fair margin.

MW: Personally, I’m feeling the Bulldogs for this one, and the cosmos agree.

CT: Both of these teams are struggling right now, but there’s no way I’m going to pick the Irish to win this. They are unsurprisingly bad again this season, and I think Christian McCaffrey and Stanford won’t have too much trouble getting this win.

CT: Nebraska is one of the hottest teams in the nation right now, but Indiana is quietly a solid football team with an impressive defense. I think Indiana catches the Cornhuskers off guard and sneaks out a victory, giving the Hoosiers their fourth win of the season.

MW: After consulting my cards, I’m told Nebraska will win, but it’s going to be one heck of a fight. In fact, depending on the wind patterns and Pluto’s position to Jupiter, there may even be some overtime drama.

MW: The stars are telling me Stanford for this game. I personally would pick the Fighting Irish, but when the universe speaks, it speaks, and the universe is saying Stanford.

Editor to editor: Rebels vs. Razorbacks

Matt Vigoda, sports editor of the Arkansas Traveler, joins Brian Scott Rippee to break down this top 25 matchup between Ole Miss and Arkansas.

1. Just how similar is Austin Allen to his brother Brandon? What is something that he maybe does better than is Brandon?

MV - Very similar. Brandon was a great quarterback during his third season as a starter, while Austin is great in his first season. He’s doing a great job with the weapons he has and new Offensive Coordinator Dan Enos.

2. The Arkansas run defense has struggled a bit this year. What do you think that is a product of?

MV - Arkansas’ defense has been having problems all season, and it’s become a big problem. Not only is the run defense bad, the pass defense it atrocious. Defensive Coordinator Robb Smith has work to do if he wants to stick around Fayetteville.

3. Arkansas has been a matchup nightmare for Ole Miss the last two years. What is one matchup offensively that you think the Hogs can and will exploit?

MV - Offensively for the Razorbacks, I think they can make the Ole Miss defense look silly as long as they play smart. Rawleigh Williams will rush for 100 yards, and Austin Allen will exploit the secondary with smart throws.

4. It seems Arkansas is in a bit of a delicate spot after dropping games to A&M and Alabama, much like Ole Miss was heading into the Georgia game after starting 1-2.

Just how pivotal is this game with regards to the rest of the season?

MV - The game is extremely important Saturday. Arkansas needs to prove that they can compete with SEC competition, and a loss to Ole Miss will not help. That “delicate spot” will be more like a broken heart if the Hogs can’t close this one out.

5. Prediction: 45-35 Ole Miss.

1- After last year’s miraculous finish, how can Ole Miss bounce back and win the game?

BSR - I don’t think that is necessarily at the forefront of their minds. It was nearly a year ago, and this team has already dealt with a lot in this 2016 season. Hugh Freeze said on Wednesday that he hadn’t even thought about it until he was asked on the SEC teleconference about it. I think this team knows it doesn’t have any more wiggle room and that it’s facing a road test that it has to pass.

2- What do the Rebels need to do to contain Austin Allen and the passing game?

BSR - Pray? I’m kidding ... sort of. The Ole Miss secondary is very young and had a tough go of it early on, but they’re improving quickly. Jared Cornelius and Keon Hatcher will be really tough matchups for them. I think the key, though, will be neutralizing Arkansas’ tight ends that do so much for their offense.

3- Same as No. 4. The Rebels seem to be in the same spot as the Hogs. How pivotal is this game for Ole Miss?

BSR - They know one more loss their preseason goals are no longer attainable. This team had its destiny taken out of its control after the Alabama game, and so I think they are now viewing every game as a must-win, as cliche as that sounds. It’s a huge game against a team that has been a thorn in the side of the Rebels.

4- Who will be the x-factor for the Ole Miss offense in the game?

BSR - Evan Engram. He’s a nightmare for defenses to deal with because he lines up at tight end but plays like receiver. If he can make things happen over the middle of the field, it will open up things for Chad Kelly and a very versatile receiving corps for Ole Miss.

5- Prediction: IF, IF, IF Ole Miss doesn’t shoot itself in the foot with turnovers, I think it wins this game 41-28.
