Ole Miss bounces back with easy win over Wofford

Just five days after a loss in its season opener, Ole Miss did its best to take away the sting of that defeat.

In its home opener in front of a record crowd of 64,232 at the newly renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday, the No. 19 Rebels cruised to a 38-13 win over Wofford.

“We were glad to get home and get a win,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. “The preparation was difficult (defending the triple option), but the kids came out with an edge today.”

The Rebels jumped out to a 24-3 lead at halftime, scoring on all four of its first-half possessions in the win.
