‘We’ve got to move on’: Bradley Sowell has a message for Ole Miss fans

OMSpirit — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:02:25 GMT

Bradley Sowell spent years pushing back against Ole Miss fans who treated Lane Kiffin as indispensable.

He isn’t changing his position now just because Kiffin coaches LSU.

If anything, the former Ole Miss offensive lineman and eight-year NFL veteran believes the first week of the 2026 season reinforced his larger point: Ole Miss has become bigger than any one head coach.

And constantly comparing Pete Golding’s Rebels to Kiffin’s Tigers isn’t doing anybody much good.

“We’ve got to, as a fan base, move on,” Sowell said. “People are trying to compare too much what LSU is doing. And that’s just not it.”

Pete's Pigskin Preview -- Charlotte at No. 9 Ole Miss

Neal McCready, Pete DeWeese — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:29:31 GMT

This week on Pete's Pigskin Preview, MPW Digital football expert Pete DeWeese takes a brief look at Charlotte but mostly focuses on what went right and what went wrong in Ole Miss' 41-38 win over Louisville this past Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

It's the Rebels' final non-conference tune-up before entertaining No. 8 LSU and traveling to face Florida over the next two weeks, so cleaning up mistakes this week is imperative for Ole Miss. DeWeese dives into that process as well.

A 35-Point Win Might Still Be A Bad Night | Ole Miss vs Charlotte | Rebs Seek Get Right Game

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ole Miss is a 47.5-point favorite over Charlotte in Saturday's home opener, so this isn't a show about who wins. It's about what a win has to look like.

Steven Willis makes the case that there's a version of Saturday where Ole Miss wins by 35 and it's still a bad night — and lays out how to tell the difference. Pete Golding is going to call a deliberately simple defense, and that's not disrespect, it's a diagnostic: the only way to test communication is to strip everything down and see whether eleven people can line up correctly against an offense that can't hurt them. Blow an assignment in that setting and it stops being a scheme problem and becomes a personnel decision — and the diagnostic isn't just for the starters.

Also: Golding has coached four games as a head coach and all four came against ranked opponents. Saturday is the first unranked team he's faced from that chair, and handling a game you're supposed to win by seven touchdowns is a genuinely different job.

And the argument nobody else is making — why Louisville was an anomaly rather than a trend. Louisville sits on the Bobby Petrino coaching tree, and that tree has historically given Golding fits. The familiarity runs both directions, which is exactly why it evens out. Put that next to the Arkansas game in 2025 and the Texas A&M game in 2023 and you get one or two of these every season.

Then three keys — the busted coverages that have to get cleaned up now, the situational reps that actually carry over, and why installing anything exotic against Charlotte is a gift to Lane Kiffin. Plus a watch list on both sidelines.

And what Saturday actually is for Charlotte: roughly $1.7 million, the biggest spread in program history, and a game originally scheduled for a 15,000-seat stadium. Official prediction inside — including the honest note that it probably isn't a cover — and four things that get graded Monday.

They Beat A Ranked Team With Their C-Game | What Ole Miss Fixes Before LSU

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Ole Miss survived Louisville 41-38 on a Lucas Carneiro 48-yarder as time expired, and by Monday a fanbase that just beat a ranked team on a neutral site was talking itself into a crisis. Steven Willis joined The 24th Floor on ABC 24+ to make the case for calm — and to hand Saturday a scorecard.

The receipts first: Ole Miss came out of that weekend with the SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week and the SEC Special Teams Player of the Week, 41 points, 31 of them in the second half, and a win over a ranked opponent. That was the C-game.

Then the honest part. Most of what Louisville did came on a handful of explosive plays, many of them busted coverages, and there is a roster explanation underneath it: Shareef Denson, the starter at strong safety, never played. Antonio Kite, the starting corner, was hurt six plays in. Half the back end was unavailable or shuffled. Pete Golding called it communication rather than a talent gap, and Steven takes him at his word — with the caveat that it has to be fixed or Lane Kiffin will have a field day in a couple of weeks.

Plus the offensive question nobody else is asking: the Ole Miss offense showed up the moment Kewan Lacy went out, and that is not a coincidence. The case is that John David Baker was scheming to get Lacy the football rather than folding him into an offense that already worked.

And four things that would make Saturday against Charlotte an actual step forward.

⏱️ CHAPTERS
0:00 [FILL FROM CASTMAGIC AFTER RECORDING]

📌 FOUR THINGS I WANT TO SEE AGAINST CHARLOTTE

1. Nobody gets hurt.
2. The defense holds Charlotte to single digits.
3. Every injured player rests — Kewan Lacy included.
4. Johntay Cook and Caleb Cunningham get more involved in the offense.

📌 AND THREE THINGS FROM LOUISVILLE

1. Deuce Alexander announced himself. Two long scores, and the first one came on a straight NFL throw — released a window early, against three-deep coverage, directly in the seam, with the receiver running into it in stride. His end-zone celebration was a Karate Kid nod to Jameson Williams, which is also the comparison that fits.

2. Caleb Odom is the second weapon. Nothing in the first half, then a 35-yard touchdown and the first-down catch on the final drive that set up the winning kick. Ole Miss needed a receiver to emerge opposite Deuce and one did.

3. Don't panic. Last season this program struggled to run on Georgia State, looked bad against Kentucky, and got in a shootout with Arkansas — then beat LSU and played in the national semifinals. September evidence is real, but it is not a verdict.

Charlotte Podcaster CRAZY pick for Saturday | Ole Miss Is A 47.5-Point Favorite | LSU Looms for Rebels

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Charlotte comes to Vaught-Hemingway on Saturday as a 47.5-point underdog — the biggest number in the program's history, bigger than the spread when they went to No. 1 Clemson in 2019. Steven Willis is joined by Hunter Bailey of the Highway 49 podcast, who has covered the 49ers since 2018, for the Know Your Enemy crossover.

The headline: Charlotte lost at home to The Citadel, 43-41, as a 20-point favorite. But the way they lost is the scouting report. The Citadel ran for 260-plus yards on them — an FCS school — and did all of it after halftime, scoring touchdowns on their first three second-half drives. And on third and fourth down, The Citadel dialed up cover-zero blitzes that worked. Bailey's expectation is that Ole Miss watches that film and brings six almost every snap.

Then the matchup that decides how early this gets out of hand: Charlotte's corners. CB1 Jamil Croft Jr. is a Kansas transfer who led the defense in snaps. CB2 is 5-foot-8, and The Citadel's bigger receivers won the 50-50 balls against him. Asked whether anybody on Charlotte's roster can run with Deuce Alexander, Bailey didn't hedge.

Plus: the money (roughly $1.7 million, and this game was originally supposed to be played in Charlotte), the crowd noise Charlotte is pumping into practice after three false starts on their own goal line last week, and why Ole Miss should treat this as a get-right game for a secondary that gave up most of Louisville's offense on a handful of busted coverages.

Two days to Charlotte. Nine to LSU. Maybe.

⏱️ CHAPTERS

00:00 Citadel vs Charlotte triple OT thriller

17:47 Offensive strategies with Cole Gonzalez

22:41 Poncho's game day collection

26:29 Biggest Underdog in Charlotte History

27:29 Charlotte Stadium expansion details

📌 THREE THINGS

1. Charlotte's defense is a run defense problem first. They gave up 260-plus on the ground to The Citadel and could not get a stop in the second half after looking fine in the first. They run a 4-2-5. The front seven has real pieces — DJ Burgess on the edge, a Mississippi kid at around 270, and North Carolina transfer Devin Ancrum inside — and Gavin Willis, No. 13, wears the green dot and gets downhill well. But the group as a whole is unproven, and they gave up over 35 a game last season.

2. The blitz tape is the useful tape. The Citadel got to Cole Gonzalez with cover zero on third and fourth down and it worked more than once. Charlotte's left tackle, Javen Williams, is a big body at 325 who spent two injury-shortened seasons at Penn State — last Saturday was the first college football he has ever played. Gonzalez is six foot, around 200 pounds, and Bailey's read was that the pressure got to him. He threw two interceptions, both on screens at the line of scrimmage.

3. What Charlotte actually wants to do: win first down, get to second and short, and run play-action out of an identical look. They were nine of ten on play-action against The Citadel and near-perfect in the screen game. They live in the pistol and the shotgun and almost never go under center, even in short yardage. The two names to know are Gonzalez at quarterback and No. 1 Jayden Barnes, an App State transfer who led the team in targets. Jalen Hampton had the breakout — eight catches, 117 yards, two touchdowns.
