OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss led just 13-10 at halftime, but it dominated in the second half in a 47-27 win over South Alabama at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The Rebels will face FCS foe UT-Martin next week before traveling to face California on the road.

Here are five takeaways from the game.

1. WR A.J. Brown is a freak of nature

The buzz: He finished with eight catches for 233 yards – an Ole Miss record – and two touchdowns. While speed is not necessarily his biggest attribute, he finds a way to outrun defenders and can go up and get the ball.
