TAMPA — Ole Miss is the king of the Bloomin’ Onion in 2021.
In what served as a preview of the 2021 team, the Rebels defeated No. 7 Indiana, 26-20, in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday. The win was the first bowl victory since the 2016 Sugar Bowl, which was also the last bowl appearance for Ole Miss prior to this year.
The Rebels offense had a lot of unfamiliar faces and unorthodox looks to it due to opt-outs and injuries late in the season. Without Elijah Moore, Kenny Yeboah, Jerrion Ealy and Braylon Sanders, quarterback Matt Corral was throwing to a few unusual suspects.
