It took all of two plays for Ole Miss’ offense to run away from Texas Tech.
On the second play from scrimmage, D.K. Metcalf tore past an overmatched cornerback, leaving him flailing on the ground. A perfectly placed floater from Jordan Ta’amu fell into Metcalf’s outstretched hands and he raced down the left sideline for a 58-yard score.
Things never got much better for Tech’s defense.
Though not its most efficient performance, the Ole Miss offense showed why it could be one of the country’s most explosive during a 47-27 route in Houston.
