How do you know your defense is really bad? When the Vanderbilt Commodores score 38 points and beat you.

This has been a season to forget for Ole Miss, and it only got worse as the Rebels young defense allowed a normally un-explosive Commodore offense to go off. The Ole Miss offense wasn’t much better either while freshman quarterback Shea Patterson played well, he was not helped out by his receivers who were dropping balls all night. Vanderbilt has a very stout defense so this was never going to be an easy game for Patterson, but this was game the Rebels were expected to win. Ole Miss will now head home to Oxford for the Egg Bowl game against Mississippi State, a game in which Ole Miss will be playing for bowl eligibility and state bragging rights.

Next game: November 26, vs Mississippi State, 3:30pm ET SEC Network
