BERKELEY, Calif. -- Ole Miss faced adversity from multiple angles on Saturday night, and fell short in the second half in a 27-16 loss to Cal.
"The penalties and just the lack of ryhthm really hurt us on offense," head coach Matt Luke said. "We have been through a lot together. I think the important part is facing adversity and seeing what happens. We are not going to do it alone. We are going to do it together."
Nothing came easy for the Rebels in California after a fast start.
Shea Patterson and the offense marched the football down the field on the team's opening possession and settled for a Gary Wunderlich field goal.
