Ole Miss and Memphis have squared off on the gridiron 61 times since 1921. Ole Miss has owned the rivalry, leading the series 48-11-2. However, some of those 11 losses for Ole Miss have been devastating to some of the better seasons by the Rebels.
Ole Miss fans remember the 2003 season fondly. It was Eli Manning’s senior season. The Rebels won ten games for the first time since the 1960s. Ole Miss went 7-1 in the SEC and nearly won the western division outright. They also went to the Cotton Bowl for the first time in over 50 years.
