Last fall, Ole Miss Football’s playoff hopes took a hit when Kentucky stunned the Rebels at home in Oxford. The loss haunted Ole Miss all season, and now head coach Lane Kiffin’s squad gets its shot at revenge against the Wildcats a year later on the road Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
Ole Miss enters Saturday’s matchup ranked No. 20 in the AP poll. The Rebels looked every bit the part of an SEC contender after dismantling Georgia State in Week 1. Sophomore quarterback Austin Simmons lit up the Panther defense for three touchdowns and over 300 yards — all while running back Kewan Lacy bulldozed his way to 108 yards and three touchdowns of his own.
