On Saturday morning at Jefferson Pilot Standard Time, Ole Miss will step into the faux squared circle with Indiana to battle for the right to be called 2021 Outback Bowl champions - a more prestigious honor I cannot recall. The trip to Tampa will be the first time Ole Miss has visited Florida in January since 1991 when they lost to Michigan 35-3 in the Gator Bowl.
In fact, it’s just the fifth time Ole Miss has ever played a bowl game in Florida. For some depressing perspective, Ole Miss has played in the Independence Bowl five times (4-1 BABY) since 1983.
