Bo Wallace had an up and down career with Ole Miss, as he was the starting quarterback each year he was with the Rebels. In all three years, Wallace threw at least half as many interceptions as touchdowns. He struggled with turnovers every single season and he did not really seem to improve his overall stat line throughout his career either.

The highlight of Wallace’s career was easily leading Ole Miss to a victory over the no. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in 2014. That was Wallace’s best season as a starting quarterback and the second most wins that Freeze racked up as a head coach during his Ole Miss career.

Wallace is one of the most well-known quarterbacks in Ole Miss football history. He threw almost 10,000 yards and 62 touchdowns in his three-year career. However, both of those stats are overshadowed by the 41 interceptions he threw.

Ole Miss improved their record every single year that Wallace was quarterback. He emerged alongside Freeze but ran out of eligibility before the Rebels reached their true peak in 2015.
