1. Ken Webster Will Be Missed

Ken Webster was the veteran leader of the Ole Miss secondary. But the talented junior will miss the entirety of the 2016 season after suffering a gruesome leg injury. After Webster left the game, Deondre Francois went off.

Francois hung 419 yards and two touchdowns on the Rebels. He also broke two runs of just over 30 yards each. Hugh Freeze will have to hope that one of the reserve defensive backs steps up and fills Webster’s spot. The Rebels are already breaking in two new safeties, so Webster’s loss is huge for the Landsharks.
