Ole Miss Rebels

Ole Miss 29 – Texas A&M 28

The Rebels aren’t nearly where they wanted to be when the season kicked off, but a bowl berth sounds pretty good right now. Even after losing Chad Kelly, it is attainable after the arrival of Shea Patterson.

While Patterson got off to a slow start and credited making his first start at College Station for it, he eventually found his rhythm. And it was impressive. Patterson displayed poise and led the Rebels to a 23-point 4th quarter. The onslaught was enough to give Ole Miss a 29-28 win and third straight over Texas A&M.

Impact Moving Forward

-Toss-up

Ole Miss definitely received a huge short-term boost in momentum. Shea Patterson looked great and high school recruits no doubt want to play with him. In order to justify pulling Patterson’s red shirt this late in the season, though, Ole Miss needs to become bowl eligible.

The Rebels will have to defeat Vanderbilt and/or Mississippi State to get there. Each of those games is winnable, though nothing is for certain. If Ole Miss makes a bowl, it’ll be a wave of momentum for the program. If not? Well, then…
