Ole Miss handled The Citadel on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels won 49-0. Starters and backups alike had moments to shine in the runaway victory.
Big win but could have been bigger
The Citadel may not be the toughest opponent, but the Rebels still beat the Bulldogs handily. The Ole Miss offense had over 600 total yards, while the defense only gave up 106 yards — almost half of which came on a 41-yard rush by the Bulldogs in the third quarter.
The Citadel’s 106 yards of total offense is the fewest yards by an Ole Miss opponent since Memphis in 2014, and the Bulldogs’ 23 passing yards are the fewest air yards allowed by the Rebels in the Lane Kiffin era.
