Ole Miss Rebels 

The Rebels took care of business and did what they needed to do against a regional rival that embarrassed them last year.  The game was closer than the 48-28 final score, but the Rebels getting a three score victory is exactly what they needed heading into their bye.

Impact Moving Forward

-Sustained momentum

While it wasn’t a spectacular win by any means, the Rebels have now won two in a row for the first time this season.  Ole Miss will need to keep that momentum rolling if they want to put a winning streak together. After a bye, the Rebels travel to Arkansas and LSU.  Ole Miss plays an insane schedule this year.  If the Rebels can avoid another loss anytime soon, they may be able to play in a New Year’s Six bowl for a third straight year.
