For the first time in five years, Ole Miss is putting on their bowling shoes.
The Rebels accepted a bid to play No. 7 Indiana in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2, 2021. The game will be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
When the Rebels (4-5) tee up against the Hoosiers (6-1) it will officially be 1,828 days since they played in a bowl game. The last time Ole Miss played in the postseason was in the 2016 Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State on Jan. 1.
“Taking this team back to a bowl game is a good first step in our progression toward building a championship program,” said Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin on Sunday.
