Kewan Lacy Is Back — But Golding Said The Quiet Part Too | Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt Week

Every version of this story stops one sentence too early: Kewan Lacy is back. That's the wrong line. Golding's first answer Monday was yes — rehab all last week, practiced Sunday, mostly non-contact, "fully anticipate having him this week" — and then he kept going: "Even coming back, he's not gonna take the toll of 40 to 50 snaps." Anticipate is not cleared, and available is not whole. The man on a pitch count has a rushing touchdown in 12 straight games played, the longest at Ole Miss since 1956. Four days to Ole Miss at Vanderbilt. First road trip since Gainesville, and the depth chart is not set until Friday. Steven Willis takes apart the most revealing Ole Miss press conference of the season — the Lacy answer and the but inside it, the number Golding volunteered unasked, and the one Vanderbilt sentence that means Ole Miss is game-planning a formation nobody has put on tape.
