I'm not quite sure what Houston Nutt did to anger the college football gods, but he certainly did something. Somehow, some way, the Ole Miss Rebels have lose three running backs to injury in their game against the BYU Cougars. Brandon Bolden and Jeff Scott went down in the first half, but Enrique Davis is the latest running back to succumb to whatever curse is currently on Ole Miss running backs.
Houston Nutt Has Lost Three Running Backs, Is Obviously Not Living Right
The other dudes who have carried the ball for Ole Miss so far, other than the three aforementioned injured guys and quarterback Barry Brunetti, are Nickolas Brassell, Devin Thomas and Philander Moore. None of them are performing particularly well. It is probably not their fault.
Somehow, despite these injuries and BYU’s big advantage in time of possession, the Cougars are only winning this game 14-13. Ole Miss is very much in a game against a good team with no running backs. This is fairly impressive.
