Ole Miss Football finds footing after sluggish start, beats Kentucky 30-23

Ole Miss Football overcame early mistakes and a slow first quarter to beat Kentucky 30-23 in Lexington, Ky. on Saturday, Sept. 6.

Last week, Kentucky beat Toledo 24-16. The Wildcats won that game on the ground, with 220 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The AP No. 20 Ole Miss Rebels won 63-7 last week against Georgia State.

First Quarter

On the opening drive, Simmons made a nice throw to wide receiver Harrison Wallace III, who peeled up the sideline for a first down. The drive stalled after a missed throw by Simmons.

Kentucky could not get much going on its opening drive either, as a third down stop by Ole Miss’ Wydett Williams Jr.
