Ole Miss has coronavirus problems heading into the Outback Bowl against Indiana.
According to the Courier & Press, head coach Lane Kiffin told the media Monday that the Rebels are “really struggling” with coronavirus. However, Ole Miss has zero intentions of canceling on the Hoosiers. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

“We’ve not talked about not playing. We just want to be a part of a bowl game after this long of not being in one. We’ve not even discussed that. I don’t even know what our (COVID-19) numbers are because we’re just going,” Kiffin explained.

Of all the medium to large bowl games that I’m excited for, Indiana vs. Ole Miss is right at the top of the list. The Hooisers are a hot team, despite Michael Jr. Penix being out with an injury.
Hell, they marched right into Madison with a backup quarterback and hammered the Badgers. They’re a damn good team.

Ole Miss has a fire offense and Lane Kiffin has taken the SEC by storm. They’re an absolute blast to watch play.
The Outback Bowl should have plenty of fireworks. The last thing we need is for it to get canceled because of coronavirus.
I never ask for much, but please don’t let this game be canceled! I need to see it.
