The Ole Miss offense put on a show, and the defense got stops when it mattered in the Rebels’ 47-27 win over Texas Tech on Saturday.
The Rebels’ offense, led by its elite corps of wide receivers and a junior college-transfer at running back, began its scoring on the second play of the game on a 58-yard pass from Jordan Ta’amu to D.K. Metcalf. The offensive fireworks continued in the first quarter with a kick return for a touchdown by Jaylon Jones, a field goal by Luke Logan and a 39-yard touchdown scamper from Scottie Phillips.
Speaking of Phillips, it looks like Ole Miss may have found its answer at running back.
