(2:48)Open Extended ReactionsATLANTA -- The case for Ole Miss football optimism this year is rooted in two Austin Simmons relief appearances against Georgia last year.
"Slider, in," recalls Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco.
In relief of injured quarterback Jaxon Dart, Simmons led Ole Miss on a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to tie the game with an unflinching calm.
Simmons graduated two years early from high school and has already graduated from Ole Miss this spring with a degree in multidisciplinary studies.
So what can that natural talent translate to for Simmons and Ole Miss?
