Ole Miss football picked up its first win of the 2018 season today when they took down the Texas Tech Red Raiders 47-27 in Houston. The Rebels came into the game with what most college football experts believe to be one of the top offenses in the nation while Texas Tech entered the game with a stout defense which returns 10 starters from 2017. Texas Tech also came into the game as a 2.5 point favorite against the Rebels.
Of course, it is great to get a big season opening win over a good opponent. Texas Tech is a very good well-coached team with a lot of talent and was a good test for the Rebels on both sides of the ball.
