Ole Miss Football: Way-too-early game-by-game predictions for 2020

Once again, the Rebels will get a nice break after an absolute death row of SEC opponents and this one will come against non-conference foe Georgia Southern. The Eagles finished the 2019 season with a 7-6 record and a Cure Bowl berth, so this won’t be a cakewalk, but it’ll be another opportunity to build some confidence by the end of the season.

There’s no bowl to play for, but that shouldn’t stop Ole Miss from playing hard and finishing the season strong. Heck, some of these kids may be playing for starting spots in the 2021 season, so don’t expect a letdown here.

Final Score: Georgia Southern 17, Ole Miss 35 (4-7)

The game that everyone has been waiting for. Mike Leach vs. Lane Kiffin. The Egg Bowl.

Last year’s didn’t disappoint as it ended in probably the weirdest way possible but with these big personalities at the helms of both schools, the game should be just as wild. Expect a back-and-forth affair with KJ Costello of Mississippi State and Matt Corral having one heck of a duel.

The game will come down to the wire with Ole Miss winning on a late touchdown pass from Corral to Elijah Moore with under two minutes left.

Final Score: Mississippi State 24, Ole Miss 31 (5-7, 2-6)
