Weight loss crucial for Washington’s future success
The majority of Ole Miss’ spring football practices can be summed up in two words — dominant defense.
Lately, however, the offense has been fighting back.
If the offensive line is going to continue to progress, it’s going to need junior left guard Alex “Tank” Washington to fill in for some of the departed veterans.
More specifically, though, it’s going to need Washington, who currently tips the scale at 350 pounds, to shed some weight. (April 13, 2010, Page 2B)

Trojans rally to defeat No. 17 Rebels
The Ole Miss Rebels were hoping Wednesday’s game against the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans would allow them to get back on track after dropping two of three to Tennessee at home last weekend.
Instead, the Trojans were able to capitalize on several mistakes from freshman second baseman Alex Yarbrough and the Ole Miss relief pitchers to overcome an early 4-1 deficit and defeat the No. 17 Rebels 9-6 at Oxford-University Stadium. (April 8, 2010, Page 6)

Rebel O getting frustrated by defense
Shortly after the Ole Miss defense stopped another play for a minimal gain during Monday’s spring practice session, senior end Kentrell Lockett told running back Rodney Scott he knew what play the offense was going to run.
Whether Lockett really meant what he said or not, his message was clear: the Rebel defense can shut down most anything the offense is throwing their way. (April 6, 2010, Page 8)
