? Ole Miss: Can Hugh Freeze keep the momentum going in spite of some off-field issues?
This could be a big year for the Rebels. Ole Miss returns an experienced quarterback in Bo Wallace. The stars of the vaunted 2013 recruiting class (defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, receiver Laquon Treadwell and defensive back Tony Conner) proved excellent as freshmen. Most of the defense returns, and the only major positional question mark is on the offensive line. (Though not at left tackle, where Tunsil is a budding star.) But linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche has been suspended for all of spring practice (http://college-football.si.com/2014/03/05/denzel-nkemdiche-suspended-ole-miss-arrest/) following his Feb. 15 arrest on charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Denzel and Robert Nkemdiche are being sued in civil court for $2 million by a man who claims they beat him at a fraternity party. The brothers are facing no disciplinary action for this incident, because school officials contend the claim was properly investigated and no wrongdoing was found. Meanwhile, tight end Channing Ward (DUI) and linebacker Serderius Bryant (disturbing the peace/public drunkenness) were also arrested in the offseason. Both will practice this spring. If the Rebels can stay out of trouble, they could be building toward a special season. If more issues result in further disciplinary action, the team's depth could be tested come the fall.

Recruits well, plagued with off the field issues.
