As low as expectations had fallen heading into this cross-division battle of meh, there remained an opportunity for Ole Miss to disappoint fans even more. Fortunately, we don’t have to live in that world just yet, as the Rebels put together a nerve-racking, 14-play drive to seal the victory Saturday night.
Tossing records aside, they were always a better team than Kentucky, but had struggled converting what strengths they had into actual wins through eight games. It took every second available to them, but Ole Miss proved their worth in Lexington after giving the game away to Arkansas the week prior.
